You're basically saying he has to be broke by now, and that just has to be one of the major factors he has eventually resurfaced.

He isn't broke unless he squandered a lot of money. He could live comfortably on the O money for the rest of his life if he chose.
What I'm saying is that he has so blatantly and obviously compromised and agreed to do a bunch of press and interviews and crap that he doesn't want to do, because its worth the money to him. Again, as we discussed this summer, at any time he wants he could just record music and post it on his website for download. He chose, instead, to sign with Warner Records and sell that music in bundles along with t-shirts and tote bags and lithographs and promote it.
The only reason to compromise and do all these interviews and press appearances and stuff is $$$$$.
And there's nothing wrong with that and its not a criticism of him. I do a lot of stuff I don't enjoy so I can get paid. But the white knighthood on this website about how pure and unadulterated by the evil dollar Damien is... its just delusional.
