Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Great article. I love them, but I do question their assertion that the License to Ill era was parody. I think they really, in hindsight, believe it was. But I saw them on that tour - they were embracing every minute of it. Don't get me wrong...I loved it back then and we all view that era through a post "me too" lens, but I think they would be better off admitting that they were being sexist assholes. Does that make sense?

Regardless, I totally want that book. Alan Light's book on them is great, too.

Are they still saying that? Can't they just admit that they were young and immature?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Exactly.
And there's absolutely no damage by admitting it. Hell, they'd almost certainly get credit for growth and the like. I mean, I've seen some of the jokes I've made here from a decade ago and will wince. Playing fast and loose with the ironic tone as cover. Get older, become more self-reflective, try to be better. Duh.

I think Jen's right - they probably believe their own rationalisations. Goddamn, but fuck the person I was just two years ago (and may I forever feel this way).

Right. Same. I love them and I think they have done more than their fair share of penance (for lack of a better word), but just admit you were douchebags.

I think we've seen recently that showing growth doesn't seem to give you any points if you have something distasteful in your past.
