4. Joe Strummer LOL!
Joe Strummer... you've been through the cleansing fire of punk, only to pick up a few venerial diseases along the way. You're more of an optimist when it comes to fucked-up genius. But you can write wicked-deadly riffs and lycs

5. I Think I'd Be Schoenberg
I get a lot of those looks that say "You can play those notes in that song."

9. Shane MacGowan - whoever he is.
I wanted to be Carlo Gesualdo - he beats the lot of them for being a "fucked up genius composer".


Shane MacGowan... unconsciously brilliant. You can intelligently debate any topic from theology, history, literature and philosphy... though only while you're out of your skull on booze.


Actually the comment isn't that far from the truth :scared:

14. Shane's the lead singer of The Pogues...
The greatest Celtic-folk-punk band the world has ever seen.

Be proud of who you are. Shane's a brilliant badass. In his heyday, they had to strap him to the microphone stand when they'd perform so that he wouldn't fall over. And yet he was still able to come up with an alvum as unbelievably good as Rum, Sodomy and The Lash. :thumbsup:

(incidentally, I'm Nick Cave)

12. Nick Cave... dark and creepy.
You're a bi-polar genius, with equal passion for the most degrading aspects of humanity, as well as the beauty & wonder of God and Heaven.




Weird!

15. Same here...
Strangely enough. I have a feeling it was choosing the
thing with the pen-knife.

Dunno.

17. I LOVE John Cage.
I was so sad when he died. I somehow really believed he would never die.

16. Awesome. I'm Tom Waits.

Tom Waits... charismatic story-teller with a penchant for freaky people and unusual settings. You thrive on the concept of the underdog coming out on top.

26. I'm Nick Cave
morbid and dark, eloquent, crass, intelligent and disturbingly imaginative.

Sounds about right.

Khash.
