Following suit with my recent re-infatuation with him, I saw this article today and had to take a moment to respect the guy for standing up for his image. He spent years in court fighting Frito Lay for ripping him off in the 70s, and now he stood up to Audi for doing the same thing. What a golden standard to set!

Artistic integrity.

Say it with me:

Artistic Integrity! That was nice, wasn't it?

Like a breath of fresh air these days.

But Tom has always stood his ground and been breathe of fresh air. His music is certainly an aquired taste for most and I can see his point. Not that he needs the money in any way, but it is good to see someone start the ball rolling on those who wish to come inside the fence as he put it and take what is his.
