    I was a big fan of his earlier stuff growing up and know all about him. He wasn’t a manic depressive and he received recognition immediately when he started his music career. Any struggles he had in his life are kind of undercut by the montage of cool shit in the music video. No reference to amphetamines or painkillers, just his long and storied career.

    Context aside, he just doesn’t sound good in the song. He sounds like any old man singing…which is why I said nobody would be gushing over it if it were not him.

    Unrelated but I hate his lyric change in Hurt almost as much as what Cee Lo did to Imagine.

    I just don’t get the appeal and have never figured out what his version brings to the table…he wasn’t exactly a tortured artist and the music video is half him looking sad at a piano, half archival footage of all the cool things he did in his life.

    I feel like if Johnny Cash wasn’t The Man In Black, that recording would have stayed in the studio.

    [Edit] I know he had struggles, that’s not what a tortured artist means. If you’re gonna reply at all, address my opinion on the quality. What does it add other than a self-aggrandizing Jesus comparison? Would the song have any recognition if not for the singer?








  • It won’t have anything that relies on “the cloud”

    When you use the AI services in Photoshop, it tries to connect to their servers. But to crack Photoshop, you need to blacklist all those servers. If you try to, say, use the automatic background removal tool, Photoshop will give you a message saying that it will run the (worse) version locally because it can’t connect.

    Not that I’d know or anything. A friend of a friend told me. Basically a stranger. Don’t even know his name.
