Which is why he dated Renee Zellwigger?

Which is why three years ago he went to Hot Press to spill the beans on his not-so-secret relationship with Lisa? http://www.hotpress.com/archive/6125747.html

That was blatant attention whoring.

My guess is Delicate, or Rootless Tree, The animals were gone, came from pure, honest places, and they didnt come out of this idea on this board that seem to think they came from, namely that damien wrote them to satisfy his audience and fans. Thats just such a fundamental misunderstanding of the creative process and the role any art plays in society and to the artist themselves.
Do you think he tripped and hit record while playing those songs? Then misplaced them at a record company's front door? And they illegally sold it for him?

He wrote them for whatever reason he wrote them. He recorded them, sold them to a record label, hired a band, booked gigs, and showed up at those shows in order to get rich and famous.

He owes us an album or an explanation why all the albums he's promised us haven't come to fruition.
