"There’s a line in “Black Hole Sun”: “Times are gone for honest men.” Do you really believe that?

Yeah, I do. It’s really difficult for a person to create their own life and their own freedom. It’s going to become more and more difficult, and it’s going to create more and more disillusioned people who become dishonest and angry and are willing to fuck the next guy to get what they want. There’s so much stepping on the backs of other people in our profession. We’ve been so lucky that we’ve never had to do that. Part of it was because of our own tenacity, and part or it was because we were lucky."

Here's the Rolling Stone Article:

Musicians on the whole are not intelligent people. They have a wonderful talent, but it is not a talent that requires deep thinking. The large number of black musicians should tell you that. So popular musicians are not the best source for political analysis or future projections about society.

It's not about them being smarter than everyone else, they were initiated.

That's why they had those record contracts.

Ever wondered why the '80s metal bands had to dress like trannies? Not a normal thing.
