   I kept wondering what your thoughts were, everytime I read anything about him.

   I’ve been listening to his music a lot this week, though. I’ll always love that.

   Does it change how you feel about his music? Do you hate him enough to change your username everywhere? Because that’d be a huge pain in the ass for you.

     Not really. I go through periods when I just don’t want to listen to him, but his music was really important to me at a time in my life when that was what I needed. I chose the username (And consequently domain name) because it spoke to me, and I think it still does, even if I don’t really care for JM’s new stuff or the way he behaves now. Not once since he’s started this slow but steady progression into douche-dom have I had any concern over my online identity; it’s always been more a reflection of me than of JM.

   Like Natalia, when I read that interview I thought of you immediately and went “Yikes!”

   I was wondering what your thoughts were, thanks for sharing.

   I think it’s good that you can still remember his older stuff with happier memories (instead of retroactively resenting him, which I tend to do when celebs fail me). Sometimes it’s like celebrities are OUT to destroy our fond memories/experiences of them, srsly.

   I feel like I can speak pretty confidently about how big this is for you… and me. I went from feeling like he “got it” to feeling like there isn’t possibly a bigger asshole than him.

   This is not unlike a divorce, really.

   P.S. Pretend I didn’t post this in the wrong post originally.

     Yeah, exactly. It’s like he’s become a completely different person. I was telling my friend Megan the other day that if it turns out he’s on coke, maybe I’ll forgive him.

     And it’s cool, it’s actually my fault about the comments link. I’ve been trying to sort out a way to make it more obvious which link goes to which post. Right now, it really looks like the comment link goes to the post above it, when it’s actually the one below. Boo.

   Thanks for the illumination, wow! I’ve always disliked him because I thought the subtext of some of his music was misogynist and couldn’t explain way. Not that it isn’t catchy…
