What does that have to do with hating artists for their fans though?  I mean, I agree with all that, but that is only like 1/4 of the issue.

For what it's worth, I assume the "Hasidic rapper" to whom LFM referred to lo those many pages ago is Matisyahu, who I suppose is technically a rapper but his music sounds more reggae-like to me.  At any rate, though Matisyahu does currently subscribe to Hasidism, he was raised in a Reconstruction Jewish family (which, if Wikipedia is to be believed -- about any of this, since it's my source not only for Matisyahu's background but also this information about different forms of Judaism -- is actually considered heretical by Orthodox Jews).  His conversion came later in life, sometime after his teenage years (which were spent first following Phish on tour, then later he spent a semester in Israel before wrapping up his high school career at some wilderness retreat in Oregon).  Given that Wikipedia knows this, I assume that he has made no effort to deceive fans, potential or otherwise, regarding his past.  I can't speak to his popularity among the "Pabst-Blue-Ribbon phony trustfund WilliamsburgBrooklyn hipster bastards" now or in the past, but (to reuse my all-too-common refrain) if Wikipedia is to be believed he continues to perform and record music, presumably in spite of his popularity or lack thereof among the aforementioned.

Well shit, if Wikipedia can't be believed, then man, what the hell can.

Edit: Don't judge me by my blogroll, but there's a good discussion about Wikipedia over at The Volokh Conspiracy.

Good, 'cause that Matisyahu record was bangin'.  (I've taken my tongue out of my cheek for this post.  I really thought that was a quality record). 
GIGGY GIGGY YO! or whatever he says at the end.

JAI HO!!!!  Damn, maybe the Pussycat Dolls aren't as genuinely south Asian as I originally thought though.

By the by, I am not at all opposed to the idea of a guy being typecast or being at one kind of thing or whatever.

But when all that is "good" or "interesting" about your work is a fradulent construction of your public identity and how that interacts with your work, that sucks.

If you are great at playing a mobster, that's awesome.

If you are a terrible actor but you get a lot of mob roles because you lie that you were a part of the Black Hand in your small times, you are terrible.

Would this be a bad time to mention that I've only been coming here ironically?

The worst part is I think Bobby beat me to it by like 2 years.

I have nothing against the individual personal quest toward a higher reality. I don't see much evidence for it but I'd love to find some.

We have a saying in Brazil (YES I PULLED THAT CARD): "You're trying to find horns on a hoss's head". There is no such evidence and there will never be. That's why it takes faith. Which you have or you don't. So you might as well stop looking for it. YOU'RE WELCOME.

By the by, I'd never call myself an atheist. A hopeful agnostic, maybe.

The term I was thinking of was "arrogant asshole who feels the need to denigrate other people's beliefs on the assumption that they can only possibly be the result of unexamined brainwashing in a conversation that tangentially brushes against the subject", but, y'know. Fine line.

You know I'm not really a wombat, right? I just play one on the internet. My family's not even marsupial-American.

I put a tiny can of Dr. Pepper in your pouch for that one.

I'm thinking Wombat needs to change her signature.  We no longer resemble the Algonquin Round Table (if we ever did) and Nabubrush hasn't been around here in a year or more.
