I can believe every bit of that. I got to meet Mike Mills recently though and he is a standup and I would think conservative guy. Plays golf as badly as I do; we have the same teacher.
I coukld handle the bashing. But they sounded just horrible. Radiohead opened for them and I fell in love. Been a Radiohead fan ever since. In fact, the lead singer of Radiohead walked past our car in the lot. I flipped out and told my friends who it was and they said no way. Sure enough, when he took the stage, they all said 'you were right!'.
