Temporary Secretary is easily in the top 10 of songs written by McCartney. A large part of his Beatles era output is, as John "Wife beater" Lennon put it; 'loving grandma music'

There's an NPR Fresh Air interview with him from a few years ago where he talks about how miserable he was, all the time, how he got help, and considers himself a "pretty happy person" now. It's actually a great interview, as he just dispels all of the mythos around the tortured artist equalling a great artist.

Because "Hey guys, life is great! I couldn't be any happier!" Kinda runs counter to the message of angry nihilism in NIN's lyrics.

Ah, so he showed his rear end and revealed that he was a giant phony that doesn't actually hate life like everyone was assuming. I can get that.

He definitely had issues, like he recorded Downward Spiral at the loving Sharon Tate house with a huge pile of heroin. He just sobered up and got therapy, and kept putting out music which isn't all that dark frankly.

edit: I like NIN enough, overall kind of lukewarm about them, but Trent puts on a really good show. There are a couple professionally filmed, soundboard-audio recordings of shows on Youtube from the last couple tours, check them out.

This isn't meant to sound snobbish or anything I just don't keep track of music at all.

Oh wow, I hadn't realized he actually had addiction problems, I thought he was just making music and it managed to get popular. I thought it was just people getting mad that the persona he had in his music wasn't actually what he was like in real life.

Downward Spiral is about his substance abuse.
He wrote that album with "the only way out is suicide" as an ending. Any "fan" that isn't happy he didn't blow his brains out is pathetic.

Oh wow, yikes. That gives it a lot more context now, yeah gently caress those guys. With titles like that I can see these people being 'fans' of his music that immediately turn around and stab him in the back. Weird, I was more expecting this kind of reaction from gamers and sports fans. Like Andrew Luck retiring because eventually the damage he's sustained was just getting to be too much.

The funny thing about English is how you can say someone is the best ‘songwriter’ and it be true, and then say someone else is the best songwriter and, in a different context of ‘best’, also be true.
