Right.  Just 'cause someone is talented, doesn't mean they still
can't be an asshole.  So they're talented assholes, as a friend is
fond of saying.  I have met them both, and they were more than decent
in person, really going beyond the typical graciousness you might
expect from a band to its fans.  Too bad they couldn't treat one of
their own as well...
