7 Things

In this weekly series, NEWSWEEK interviews the artists, celebrities, musicians and newsmakers that fascinate us. In their own words, cultural icons get real about their art, their passions and life on the A-list. (Or B-list, as the case may be.)

Performances

Some of music's brightest stars, including Bob Mould and Elvis Costello, offer up their latest for NEWSWEEK's cameras.

    To Watcher58. I agree whole-heartedly with you, there are thousands of people like you, likely religiously devout who are indeed elitist, xenophobic, and tyrannical in both word and action. If you do so devoutly believe in the sick deranged aspect as the fundamental focus of society, no... the WORLD as a hole, then why not remove yourself from it? Travel to the distant mountains, live as a hermit and ponder the qualities of life. No! Wait, you???d still be within the clutches of this "despicable" world! Such a shame, it seems then the only option left for you is suicide. Do remember that you are equally human, no better. Your egotism does not make you so, only perverses your perception ever further. Go now, embrace your carnal nature as you always have, then deny such things and attempt to appear as some prophet of old. You???re a simple piece of human flesh, carnal as the rest. Until you know all of this, Watcher58... you are useless.
