Think I read all that claptrap when I just started to go on the internet back in 1998 when Wario was playing with He-man and plastic dinosaurs. And even then it was old stuff to be taken with a pinch of salt.
But I do agree with Stretch that Jim is mostly a cynic and Meat an optimist. That was quite evident during the Rock n Roll hall of writers fame speech thing. Meat is far more emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve. Jim is not really.
There have been times when Jim wrote some cool stuff on his blog about his music and he even reacted to some things his fans wrote. I remember pointing out how awesome I thought the lyric "Looks like it's gonna be a dark one tonight" was and he appreciating that. Then he went back to moaning about politics etc. It's a shame but for a lot of people the media and the internet is a complete distraction and just gets in the way of creating and appreciating things I think... I'm making my living out of it but it can be a big time waster. You will get more pleasure out of reading a good novel than these interviews I think. No offence.
