It's actually kind of funny, but Jim fought being the poster boy for the band. The more he shunned that spotlight, the brighter it seemed to shine. He really wanted to be treated as a poet instead of a rockstar. I'm of the mind, that if you don't want to be a rockstar, don't play rock n roll.

There are countless musicians who are like that, who become bigger for not trying to be big. Then you have people who would give anything to be famous, and will do whatever it takes to achieve that. That's why you've got your Lady Gagas and your Miley Cyruses dressing skimpy and causing a bit of controversy to get the masses to look their way. Both, I'm sure are very talented, but their gimmick outshines their talent, to the point where the people that might've appreciated them, have already decided they don't like them. So they focus on selling to that lowest common denominator.
