[Mr. Blonde]

I don't know how much of a rock and roll lifestyle any of them in the band have. They are all near 40. Most rockers have to give it up around then. I can't really speak for how spoiled they are, but more than most other celebrity crusaders they do actually put time into helping people instead of just helping money. I find that easy to respect even if I don't agree with them politically.

I saw an interview with them on Much Music in Canada and they seemed very defensive, especially, when asked political questions on what normally is a fluffy TV show. I was surprised by the level of competency of the questions. The bass player's only remark was to ask the interviewer, "Are you sick?!" He was serious and it was a put down of the interviewer's questions. It looked like he wanted to beat the guy up. Anyway, I really don't know that much about the band but I do respect Cornell.

Each to his own tastes! Cheers.
