I like some females...and I don't like some females...AND the same goes for males.
I think that women can get away with certain things that men can't...AND vice versa. But for this post, my focus will be on what WOMEN can and do seem to get away with in regard to utilizing guitars in their live respective performances.
To summarize: My prejudice knows no boundaries.
I think that covers it...so here we go:
There is something about female singers whom unskillfully play guitar that really chaps my ass. I am sure that it is insulting to all musicians...and yes, I believe that this includes males AND females that CAN actually play. There are even people out there--who may not even be musicians--that can recognize when someone isn't proficient with their instrument. (My ex-wife accused me of this once...and I don't even play guitar! Buh dum bum, cymbal crash!)
But seriously, why is it that some women can get away with strapping on a guitar--when they clearly shouldn't--just because they want to LOOK like they know what they are doing.
I will admit that I have also seen the likes of Jon Bon Jovi and/or Mick Jagger with a strap-on (uh, I mean a guitar) and I questioned it all as well. But there is something infinitely more disturbing (to me) about the particular women that I am thinking of whom have pulled this scam on the masses.
If that makes me a misogynist, then I can live with that, but I really don't think that this post is an attack against ALL women, per se. I actually think that it may just be something in the phony swagger--that seems to come with the strap-ons--that actually disturbs me. I think I can safely say that both Mick and Jon have swaggered in the same fashion...with OR without a guitar.
Now don't get me wrong, I know that there ARE great female guitarists out there...but let me save the best for last:
Up first, Madonna:
No offense Madonna, but I wanna see you play guitar like I wanna see Jimi Hendrix dance around with cones on his nipples. Um actually no, I did mean to offend with that bit.
Oh...and Slash called...guess what two items he would like back!
Next up, Alanis Morissette:
(No, my criticism isn't only saved for Maverick Records-based musicians...)
Alanis is clearly talented...but I am not convinced that she could EVER play anything on a guitar that sounds as bad-ass as this picture looks!
Apparently, she has played piano since the age of six, so I can live any live piano-playing that she wants to unleash on us.
The only thing that allows me to look past her inability to play some decent guitar, is her completely obnoxious harmonica solos - I bet the band tried to hide that f'n thing before every gig on that first big tour. Oy Vey!
I mean if I HAVE to choose...go ahead Honey, keep the guitar!
Yet another Canuck, Avril Lavigne:
Well, it's bad enough that Avril claims to be mostly responsible for the songwriting of "her" songs...does she have to add insult to injury by plucking along (live) to some of them as well?!
That Ronnie James Dio bracelet doesn't look bad on her. Ms. Lavigne is actually looking awfully 'Vanity 6' in this little number.
The music doesn't really match the look though, does it.
If the other guitarist's amp were to blow a fuse in the middle of 'Sk8er Boi,' I am fairly confident that the band would be forced to wait for the tech to fix it...and then take it all from the top.
AND...may KW present, Miley Cyrus:
Somebody lost their job over this one - 'nuff said.
Moving right along with the smoothest of transitions...as I (sincerely) promised you earlier--and just to prove that I do appreciate some women--here are several women that CAN wield an axe:
In no particular order, Joan Jett:
This was the night I finally took Joan home to meet Mom and Dad...
My Dad actually loved 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll'...we had the record when I was a kid....and it wasn't me that bought it! I think it was probably a promo from the department store that he worked at, but still.
Yeah, Joan rocks - I wonder if Kristen Stewart is going to mangle her portrayal of Joan in the movie The Runaways. Not that it matters, but I thought Kristen was attractive in 'Twilight,' but her acting seemed hit and miss throughout the movie. She was the one who kept reminding me that I was only watching a movie with cameras, "actors" and a crew. Considering the subject matter of the movie, the "normal" girl should have been the easy sell!
Next, Felicia Collins:
Felicia plays with The CBS Orchestra on The David Letterman Show. The band was previously known as The World's Most Dangerous Band so she MUST have some skills to (now) be in the fold! Those guys are all great musicians.
I wonder if Dave ever put the moves on HER...or maybe the band is considered Paul Shaffer's turf!?
Yet another gifted female, Nancy Wilson:
I can still remember my friends and I ALL drooling over Nancy in the video for 'Never' by her (and her sister's) band Heart. I can listen to 'Barracuda' and 'Crazy On You' nowadays and clearly identify a gifted guitarist...but back then, it was all about the bouncing cleavage in that video.
Hmm, I don't believe that Nancy's curtains matched the carpet in this shot. I wonder what is going on the OUTSIDE of her pants as well! Is that Elvis?!
Lastly--THIS POST IS ALREADY WAY TOO LONG--Lita Ford:
Speaking of Vanity 6 (earlier), along with Denise Katrina Matthews aka Vanity, Lita also had the pleasure of dating Nikki Sixx back in his heroin-fueled days. Man, Nikki wasn't just "scoring" with the drugs!
Lita's biggest hit, 'Kiss me Deadly' was never my favorite track of all time--not even close--but there was no denying that Ms. Ford could aptly manoeuvre her way around the fretboard of a guitar.
I dunno, maybe girls shouldn't become TOO accomplished on the guitar - Check out this video of Kat covering Beethoven meets 'Bark at the Moon':
I remember getting this cassette home and putting it on and listening to it over and over - if memory serves (doubts!), I could flip the tape and have it nearly right on cue for "Soon" on the flipside - thank god for the high-tech, auto-search feature on my parents' cassette player. (Coincidentally, "Only Shallow" and "Soon" were my two favorite tracks.) I also remember thinking--especially because it was a tape--that I got one of a bad batch...or something, because of all of the warbled sounds going on...silly me. I still didn't want to take it back (just yet) because it was still so good...even if it was "broken!"
"Only Shallow" by My Bloody Valentine from the album Loveless released: November, 1991 - Creation Records. Produced by Kevin Shields and Colm Ó Cíosóig.
Ride were an amazing band that made me decide to stick with the studio recordings for this post. Most of the live versions of this track just don't do the song justice. There WAS one live version that I thought was "good"...but it's just not comparable to the original. The point of this "introduction" is to blow you away...and this recording should do just that.
"Leave Them All Behind" by Ride from the album Going Blank Again released: March, 1992 - Creation Records. Produced by Alan Moulder.
Shoegazing oddballs Lush were also pioneers of the sound, but they strayed away from it toward the end (we won't go there). I can remember all 4 of these songs blowing me away. For me, this track was actually the first of the lot - it was on a double cd sampler (sadly, the name escapes me at the moment) that also contained Buffalo Tom's "Birdbrain" - another mindblower...but for another time/genre.
"De-Luxe" by Lush from the album Gala released: November, 1990 - 4AD, Reprise Records. Produced by John Fryer (tracks: 8 to 13) , Lush (tracks: 8 to 13) , Robin Guthrie (tracks: 4 to 7, 14, 15) , Tim Friese-Greene (tracks: 1 to 3) * This album was actually a compilation of several separate sessions/recordings.
Swervedriver ended up being one of my favorites of ANY genre - I just saw them (again) at Coachella last year and they were as good as ever. There is an ongoing debate as to whether or not they belong in this genre - I think they do. They were from the Thames Valley which referred to the towns roughly following the course of the River Thames which flowed between Wiltshire in the west to London in the east. Bands like Ride were from this area as well, so they all got lumped in together...and like I say, rightly so, IMO.
"Duel" by Swervedriver from the album Mezcal Head released in August, 1993 - A&M Records. Produced by Alan Moulder (yes, him again...and yet another reason to "lump" Swervedriver in with the rest.)
Without Swervedriver, the success of Alan McGee--and his label Creation Records aka: the HOME of Shoegaze--might not have ever come to be: It was Swervedriver that (first) hit pay dirt for Alan McGee - A&M records paid Creation $350,000.00 for the rights to release Swervedriver's music under the moniker of their label...
As I recall, McGee used this money to bankroll Oasis...and this last ditch effort to save the label succeeded--as you may recall--Oasis went on to become HUGE! Somewhat ironically, it was mostly My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless and its never-ending production that landed the label into financial jeopardy in the first place. Apparently, it takes around 2 years to get that "broken cassette" sound...
While Loveless didn't make anyone filthy rich, the album did make a big impact as far as influence is concerned. You might say that the only thing that was actually broken, was the mold...
...as it turned out, my tape was just fine.
Ahh, full circle.

PS. If this post was news to you and you still don't "get it" in this spoon-fed matter, I guess you were better off missing it the first time around.
Arcade Fire is the new Pearl Jam: Everybody wants to sound and look like them for ten years...
What's really strange is that Pearl Jam weren't considered to be "hip" for a long time after grunge (I guess they still aren't)...yet, I actually think that their (fairly) recent number called "the Fixer" is way better/cooler than most of this Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie stuff that all pretty much sounds the same; I never really jumped off a cliff for either of these bands?!
I liked Arcade Fire when they took the world by storm (and I still do) - It reminded me of bands that I enjoy(ed) a track or two from like the Water Walk or the Dream Academy, except more sustainable with more depth (Although, "Life in a Northern Town" was fairly huge). But the thrill is gone and the scene is dying right in front of our eyes: Jared Leto is even coping their schtick for chrissakes! You know - skinny jeans, light scarves, flowers, hankies, tweed jackets with elbow patches, four drummers and (generally) pseudo-artsy to a fault.
With the latest wave of these bands, it's like the hippies have now all got jobs at the library...and yet they STILL can't read the writing on the wall. It's done folks. Are you around 30 and still trying to pull this off? Then I am talking to you. Jared is hovering around 40...but he is hanging with kids ten years his junior. There's nothing wrong with that...but you are a Jared-come-lately, if you are following this lead.
I don't mean to bash Jared - but he's not a true musician. His songs pale in comparison to people that have dedicated their life to the craft. He can sing, But I know he fancies himself as more than just an American Idol prospect...but he is wrong in doing so. He should stick to acting - I liked him in Requiem for a Dream and even in American Psycho...even though it was (maybe) a bit more than a bit part. I hated Fight Club - One of the biggest cop out endings of ALL time...but that wasn't his fault. Anyway...
Truth be told, if it's the Canadian, indie, library-like looks that really gets you going, there was a Canadian band that was doing this type of thing in 1988. In fact, their song and video (below) rivals, if not surpasses, the best of the best of this Arcade Fire-inspired scene...OVER 20 years earlier:
Now that's a song! I shouldn't live in a world in which people can't recognize this...maybe I SHOULD go jump off of a cliff...
...or walk the plank, in this case.
(I sheepishly ask you, "Was that too cutesy?"
Yeah, I know: Amateur hour.)
Anyway, throw the f'n dog a bone: Try to find a way to pay money to acquire this Plasterscene Replicas track. Their music wasn't ALL this good--frankly, none of their other stuff even came close--but this kind of craftsmanship should be properly rewarded...even if it only struck them once.
It's funny...you could even argue that the name of the band itself was ahead of its time by making a reference to emptily duplicated things like (let's say, I dunno) art or music.
Or who knows - maybe they were big Bladerunner fans or something? (That's "Replicants," I know...but still.)
I actually thought about including "the Fixer" in this post as well...but Cameron Crowe's video is heavily guarded against embedding by Pearl Jam and Island Records. Is somebody out there actually purchasing the video single (is there such a thing?) that they have to pull this type of move? They should advertise within the video, if they must...then the more places it ends up, the better off everyone is, no?
Pierce flip-flops between looking like Kyle MacLachlan and Ray Davies...though Ray was never so incredibly inanimate/unengaging...and Kyle: Dunno, maybe?!
I believe that I see Noel Gallagher (or his exact doppelganger) in the background blowing a trumpet - didn't know he could play...maybe he isn't playing at all? I'll have to investigate that one and change my post later! Regardless, if I had the choice, the horns are little much here: Too many and too high in the mix...I feel like a marching band invaded the coolness.
The 'new' version of this song with the video and our hero in the orange prison garb sucks: The lyrics are all cleaned up and the new guitar parts/mix/recording sound goofy in comparison to the original. Avoid at all costs.
The album version is the BEST, by far! Flawless.
This video is the best option of an audio/visual experience that I could find - I can (barely) live with the ending, even though the tempo change detracts from sheer coolness of the groove. I don't require two grooves from this drone-y master of a band, one will suffice...and it's a great one at that!
This is a GREAT cover...one of the best, IMO. Let's face it, covers are rarely better than the original - especially VU covers. ("Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies might be another exception to this [loose] rule.)
Not crazy about the band name, but it could be "THE HOT NUTS" for all I care - just glad something new finally rocks it up! I could have done without the vocal stylings of the drummer...but now I am nitpicking...

Now where are the new originals with this kind of punch?!
Man, I am (finally) almost "with the times" with this post.
Is this song for real? When I first heard this "track" - if I may be so bold to call it that - I genuinely thought that this was some sort of parody or joke.
"HEY-OH that's what I SAY-OH..."
Somebody dug DEEP into the mine for this shiny gem of a chorus!
This is on par with a really bad nursery rhyme...except that nursery rhymes usually make some sort of sense.
I was a real fan of the Chili Peppers at one point. I remember liking some of the Hillel Slovak stuff (admittedly, not much). Back then, I think that the spirit of the band was cooler than the actual songs, in some cases. I particularly really liked the band when "Mother's Milk" was released; I think it was their coolest album. While I also liked "Under the Bridge" from "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" at the time...I soon got over it...and never reached for this cd again, until I eventually had to make physical contact with it to trade it in. It went on to become an anthem for meatheads...and that was that. Because the song was such a hit for them, they then seemed to release several singles that were in the same vein. Eventually, Dave Navarro joined the band and it started to get really bad...like most super groups: Some timeless names, but no timeless songs.
After that they reformed with the winning formula and (eventually) put this "hit" out - it just seems like the verse could just as easily be the following: "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo went on a long vacation...with Old Yeller, the Littlest Hobo & a 101 Dalmatians." (And repeat.) Incidentally, this verse also works for "Californication" and a slew of others, I am sure! Adam Sandler could probably put out a fine covers album dedicated to the band. They have exhausted that rap/scat-like style with the melancholy guitar licks...and then some.
It's like a contract is just being fulfilled and the band is just illustrating how completely lost their audience has become - YET SOMEBODY IS STILL BUYING THIS STUFF BECAUSE IT CHANGED THEIR LIFE, MAN.
Give me "Knock Me Down" or "Higher Ground" any day, you know? Then throw on a Fishbone album right after!
Oh well, I guess these are (now) the voices of modern industry. If you get that reference, cheers!
To misquote Barney from the Simpsons, "WE (DON'T) WANT CHILLY WILLY (ANYMORE)."
"I think that I have the answer to the Tiger Woods vs. Roger Federer debate. The average tennis star has a 1 in 2 chance of winning a match. The average golfer has a 1 in 156 chance of winning a Golf tournament. So which is more improbable, a tennis player winning 36 straight matches, or a golfer winning 7 straight golf tournaments?
Which is less, 1/2 raised to the 36th power, or 1/156 raised to the 7th power. Most people couldn’t estimate either one of those in their head.
The mathematical answer is that it is 10,320 times more difficult for the average golfer to win 7 straight golf tourneys than it is for the average tennis player to win 36 straight. (1 in 2.2 Quadrillion to 1 in 69 Billion). Federer would have to extend his streak to 51 matches to equal the improbability of Tiger Woods’ feat.
If Tiger wins again, then Federer would have to extend to 58 matches. If Tiger matches Byron Nelson’s 11 tourneys in a row, then 80 matches for Federer would be comparable."
- by "Peter" in 2007.
I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH THIS LOGIC!
There were further posts from others about the terrain always changing in golf, whereas tennis is the same court each time. True, but not entirely - there are 4 different surfaces in tennis. Anyway, obviously golf IS a tougher and more obstacle-ridden playing field...but I don't think this proves much in comparing the athletic ability that is required to do well at either sport.
Well, time has passed and I think Federer has moved on in the stats race a little better than Woods has - for obvious reasons on Woods' behalf...
Peter's whole point of a 1 in 2 chance (in tennis) vs. a 1 in 156 chance (in golf) is a little unfair on several fronts: Tennis players have to earn their way into the tourneys against many more players than are actually IN the tournament. The tennis circuit is physically tougher. You could just as easily say that it is easier to actually GET IN to a golf tourney. Besides, how many times is the 156th ranked player going to beat Tiger? It's not like there are 156 equally tough oponents in the golf tourneys. I have also read posts from people stating that golf currently has a lot more talent in it than tennis does - not sure about that stat?!
Federer is the best now at his sport, bar none...I don't think we can say the same for Tiger just yet...not that he won't be. Woods may already the best in golf - even when he is out! He could also be considered the best golfer of any decade. But it all isn't "in stone" the way that Federer (now) is in his sport - which actually IS a "sport"...and not a recreational activity - hint, hint.
As I already mentioned, we should also consider is the physicality of tennis vs. golf: Tennis is MUCH tougher on the body and requires more bodily control at high speeds and strange angles. Federer's finesse and grace of movement is unparalleled...not to mention that he does possess power as well!
Yeah, golf courses might be a (more) challenging terrain, but tennis players don't get to consult with a partner (caddy) before every shot.
Golf doesn't really take into account reflexes or thinking on your feet.
Out of shape dudes can win at golf! (i'm looking at you John Daly.)
When Tiger loses, he usually loses BIG. Federer is almost always 2nd place when he loses (which is rare). Consistency does count for something!
To quote the tennis player, James Blake: "I mean, Woods has won a lot of majors, but it's not in that match play situation where you have one bad day and you're out. That's what we do in tennis. That means Federer can't have one bad day." Golfers are allowed to suck for a day in a major tourney and still win!
Woods plays a game that is more respected by the people that run things in the world. That, a catchy name and his unique minority status in a (nearly) totally white-ruled sport, ALL go to make him (perhaps most importantly) A BIGGER DRAW ON TELEVISION...but not necessarily a more dominating athlete.
I also think that Tiger has regularly shown a larger range of emotion than Federer: Woods is a BIG pouter when he loses and a fist-pumping, All-American showboat when he wins - again, ALL good for TV.
...and I won't even go into the fact that Federer proved to be a better role model BEFORE the vote.
Lance Armstrong actually earned more votes from the Associated Press than Federer did as well...and he might have deserved them?! But, c'mon - cycling is boring to watch! Did Lance show the best ENDURANCE of the decade...while beating cancer, no less? Sure he did...
Oh yeah, one last thing: Prize money QUADRUPLED since Tiger joined the PGA Tour!!! Game, Set, Match. ha!
Nonetheless, the "ATHLETE of the Decade" should have went to Federer.
This is good art: Pop perfection to a clever beat!
I discovered this about a year and a half-ish ago (a little too late!) but it is still fresh and timeless (really)...so who cares?
I guess my point is, how many other people CRIMINALLY overlooked this track?
"Misfit" (off the same album) is great too. (For the record, I like the original album version better.) I hope they have more music out there that is this good, but I haven't heard anything else by them that rivals these two tracks.
...but then again, it might take me ANOTHER 5 years to find more songs, if they are out there!
It's official - "Avatar" is the new king of the worldwide box office. A Global Box Office Record is set with $1.85 Billion.
On Monday, the James Cameron-directed film passed Cameron's own "Titanic" as the highest grossing film of all-time, taking in $1.859 billion globally - after only 37 days in theaters.
Now the young generation can moan when they eventually see Pocahontas..."What a rip-off of Avatar!"
KW
PS. No, I still haven't actually seen the movie - I did the same thing for Titanic. As opposed to Avatar, I purposely avoided Titanic...for about 8 years. The VHS tapes were sitting on someone's TV somewhere...and I was alone and dirt-bored. I wonder how much better the movies will be in 8 years from now? They say tickets are going skyrocket...so I'd better see Avatar soon, huh?
As a final follow-up to my previous posts, I stumbled upon this clip (above). (Yes, I do realize I am a little late on this one.) Ok, now I am REALLY confused: After this post, I doubt that I will ever discuss Eminem on this site again (not really interested)...and to be clear, my goal is not to spread this clip around to put him down or make fun of him. I am more concerned with his "artistic" output as of late...BUT, It would be remiss of me to not question the series of events involved here...
Eminem was clearly the butt of this joke, if anyone was...and he isn't exactly Andy Kaufman! Eminem has never poked fun at himself like this, in fact, he seems to take himself very seriously. He never smiles or jokes around in the public eye...and then he decides to break that 20 year-ish trend to START with this whopper??! Whoa.
So where is the follow-up displaying more of this type of behavior? If this was a joke, where is the punchline in Eminem's delivery? He just got up and left after a quick disapproving comment or two?? I heard him say, "get this muthaf***er off of me."
A bad-ass rapper actually plans to get a male ass in his face after clearly showing his homophobia in the past, time and time again? Not that Ryan Seacrest would have necessarily been "in the know" about this type of thing...but he claimed it was a prank that Eminem wasn't involved with - this was shortly after the events occurred. Did MTV/Eminem possibly go with the "planned prank" bit (afterward) to protect his career?
Is THIS why he was awarded the Peoples Choice Award this year? Was it to salvage his reputation? I am sure the two award shows must have mutual connections with each other? It likely benefits many in the industry to have a rap star's records selling!?
I mean Sasha Cohen clearly planned it: His butt was showing early in the "skit"; He had a spot picked out to drop into; He read the award winner's name (Zac Efron) without missing a beat...
You would also think that Zac might have been in on it, if it was a "group production" - he looked completely stunned! I don't know about his movies, but his acting ability in the commercials that I have seen never seemed as impressive as this performance, if it was one!?
In one comment that I read, someone asked about how anyone would've ever heard Eminem's voice if it wasn't planned...but I think that the technology today would've easily allowed for Sasha's mic to pick up Eminem's voice in that...position.
He hasn't made any comment about it since. He hasn't commented on Brittany Murphy's death either has he? That seems odd since she was from a time in his life when he was at the top of his game. There is video of him being asked about it and he ignores the guy (paparazzi). People say that there would have been a punch-up if it was real at the MTV awards...yet he didn't punch the paparazzi for asking if he liked having Bruno's ass in his face either?
What do you think?
I dunno, maybe he was in on it and this was a publicity stunt. He did just win another award after being - what 'some' might consider to be - artistically irrelevant for some time. Maybe it was all just to get the suckers like me talking about him again...you know: "No such thing as BAD publicity."
Next time, Bruno's testicles are going to have to be hanging out to get me writing on this topic again; I was easily duped the first time.
KW
PS. Wait a minute...was I possibly duped on the Moby feud too??!
I am up late after a New Year's party, 2010 - it was good. Drunk. I just watched some "new" Capitol boy band artists on THE COOL TV. It was so bad, I pulled out my laptop to get angry...in the midst of signing in to my computer (and admittedly, after a few too many gin and tonics)...I forgot who they were. But they were obscenely bad...and one day, I will remember and try again.
Anyway, while I was getting mad at myself for forgetting the name of this incredulously crappy act, "We Made You" by Eminem came on...and then inspiration hit me again like that time somebody accidentally bumped into me - when I had a beer bottle in my mouth - and knocked my front tooth out...the second time.
What happened to this combo? I initially thought that Dr. Dre must have abandoned his "protege" because this track was so bad - I was confused. Listen dude, nobody ever liked your shit because of the wit (except some meatheads that were inspired by your mediocre parody - you know, the older and hipper brothers of hardcore Al Yankovic fans). They might of liked it because you were angry and actually had some sense of flow and rhythm. But this "new" stuff, it is lacking in each of these departments...
It sounds like the vocal track and the music might be from two different songs, for starters...and regardless of this, there is no real hook!
We get it: You are mad at pop culture icons that stand for stupidity - we actually got it the first time around. Please: Contribute something new!! Otherwise, it just looks like a sad money grab. I guarantee you, if you do/did(?) sell loads of this album, it is because the people that are buying it are more stupid than the people that you are making fun of. And if I am right, start dissing your fans for the next album...because at least it would show an intelligent progression on your team's part. Formulaic money grabs are goofy...and especially if no money is made - but apparently, Eminem is still selling to somebody out there!?
Seriously, the track just sucks on every front. Somebody is high or doesn't care!? I did like a track or two of his old stuff...
Look for me at the next music awards (yeah right)...then give me a dirty look...like you gave to Moby back in the day - nice job on picking a little/thin vegetarian to bully to prove to the world that you're tough.
Don't get me wrong...this article is NOT pro-Moby in any sense. I actually liked a few of his tracks too...but then what?
What a half-assed rivalry! I will give both of you credit for one thing: You found a nemesis of equal measure in each other.
No, I didn't "miss you" Eminem...and yes, you now look like an old dude with make-up on making fun of an even older dude with make-up on (Brett Michaels). If making fun is your business, progress or retire; Making fun is a young man's game if you are in the public eye and trying to be hip at the same time. At least Weird Al was NEVER hip...and he had the sense to not take himself too seriously.
