The bit where she slipped into assuming that the only reason people don't like her stuff is that they just can't take its edginess was unfortunate, but you know, she really has a point about negative fans. I've talked to some myself. They won't let GO. Something other than mere dislike has to be going on in their heads or they would just walk away if they are so darned fed up. They act like a rejected lover. It's creepy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously talking to them does no good, but marvelling at the phenomenon is something I can absolutely relate to.

Then again, I had a lot of sympathey for Anne Rice's remarks, too.

I am very lucky to be obscure, or Lord knows what I'd end up saying in public.
