well, i've tried both (tying shoes and writing music that is).  i can say
pretty much without question that i've got tying the ole shoes altogether
figured out... but when it comes to writing "iz-us", well, it ain't quite
there yet.  thanks for the encouragement, tho.

joking aside, i've got to admit that i think you're totally wrong.  saying
"aphex twin is overrated!" is much different from saying "anyone could
write that crap!".  the first statement is pretty easily argued when
someone is built up like richard has been.  the second just shows you can
only see the world in black and white.

personally i think his reaction to being repeatedly built up and torn down
has been pretty entertaining.  hell, if people were lobbing rocks at me
because of the ridiculously wonderful things other people had said about
me, i'd take the piss now and then, too.  and then still make it
heartachingly beautiful just to rub in the fact that they were right.
