Lead singers of Rock-N-Roll bands are all douches.

That's just how it is Y'all.
They get hypnotized by society, like president Bush got hypnotized into believing he was God's Penis.
That is all.

Stephen Malkmus of Pavement.
Noah Chernin from Sam Champion. The lead singer from Voxtrot. The lead singer from Apollo Sunshine.
David Byrne.
Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio.
Danny Barria of The Big Sleep.
Jim James from My Morning Jacket - one of the nicest dudes ever.
And if none of these band names are familiar to you I highly suggest broadening your perspectives on the spectrum that is rock n roll - the bands with the big contracts from Sony and BMG and what not, of course the lead singers let it go to their heads, but not every band and every singer is like that. (And to clarify - I've met and hung, at least briefly, with all the above mentioned people.)

Uh, I'm pretty sure he turned into a big douche-bag, maybe you should look at interviews with his former bandmates? It's sad too, because I'd give my left arm for just 1 more tour.
Personally, the leads of all me favorite bands turn into douche bags, but I like it that way. I think I need a certain amount of egotism in my rock...

Sometimes you have to leave the band behind and go out on your own. I can't blame him for outgrowing Talking Heads - of course the rest of them were angry at him...Jerry Harrison and David Byrne had/have real talent, I just don't think Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz match up, outside of the context of Talking Heads. I've seen them perform as the Tom Tom Club and it is weaksauce. Without David Byrne there was no Talking Heads and without Talking Heads the spotlight was over for Weymouth and Frantz, of course they'd be butthurt over it.
I met Jerry Harrison too - he seems like more of a douchebag than David Byrne.

Yeah, I was thinking more about True Stories and how Byrne reacted following its lack of commercial success.
Let alone the fact that it was clearly the most masturbatory project a band leader had undertaken since The Wall.
Of course, I love both, but as I already said, I tend to like bands that have way too much egotism.

Hey, I'm a Brian Jonestown Massacre fan, so I know all about egotistical bands and the awesome music they produce even though they are repulsive people.
