I have the utmost respect for TP. I've seen him in concert three times, and TP and the Heartbreakers are my all-time favourite band. But he's pretty much just become a grumpy old man when talking about anything but his own stuff. He's detached, he doesn't understand the industry anymore and he's not trying to. He's at a point in his career where he's made his millions, and whatever he might say to the media isn't going to change anything. So, he takes a dump on everyone who's trying to make their way. After the way the biz has treated him, particularly early on, I guess I can't blame him. But come on, man.
