Sucking his Thom

I've decided just now that I don't like Radiohead. Scratch that. It's not that I don't like Radiohead. I can appreciate them for the genius that is them. I like Thom Yourke simply for the fact that he is Thom Yourke. But he rarely smiles. I can't believe someone that's had all his dreams come true can be so haunted and so jaded as to never be able to smile when he's doing what he [at least at one time] loved the most. Although, taking a step back, I guess it is fair to say that maybe he never really did love this but when he found out he was so incredibly talented, he couldn't walk away. And yet, what a gift? To be endowed with such great talent that he has no choice but to share his gift with the world. Or is it a burden to bear? Is that why he never smiles? I think if I were him, I would still smile. Although, if I were him, then the world would probably never have gotten "Bodysnatchers."
