      Agreed pretty much. A contrarian, rich boy wastrel. And a murderer on top of it.

        Yes, shooting his wife in the head and lying his way out of it was a great piece of performance art.

      Its a poem, its art, you might hate it and then proceed to
      instantaneous character assassination (which by the way is
      what I think the poem is about) but its a statement and
      its a thoughtful protest – something that is now vritually
      non-existant

      Thanks to UOmatters for this find.
