    There's a certain respect to which I feel obliged to reserve judgement on things like this normally, but this guy just disgusts me.

    You can see it encapsulated in "a few words for the firing squad" from RTJ4

    It'd be a lie if I told you that I ever disdained the fortune and fame

    But the presence of the pleasure never abstained me from any of the pain

    Wanna fuckin' bet? You still suffer sleepless nights over making rent when you're extracting it from others?

    Friends tell her "He could be another Malcolm, he could be another Martin"

    She told her partner "I need a husband more than the world need another martyr"

    Imagine being such a narcissistic prick that you would compare yourself to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. in the same breath just to glorify yourself before justifying doing fuck all except publishing songs and having a domestic life. Like, there's something to be said about the moral issues of larping as a gangster, but that's a thousand, million, billion times less repugnant than larping as a world-historic civil rights leader or even as someone who has the character to be one.
