Patrick Wolf: Does he kinda overestimate his fame?

dove_from_above [Edit] [Delete] 9 replies 12:25, 3 May '07

I know I'm not exactly qualified to criticise him on stuff that I have no experience in whatsoever. And for all I know he could be just as hounded and as pressured as he is making out

But some of the stuff he comes out with on a regular basis kinda makes me think that he thinks he's got this huge profile and has to maintain a public perception of him. Surely the general public wouldn't have a clue who he is?

  • Basically.

    He seems to live in a bubble and lack quite a lot of perspective.

    • yes

      although being said, his hardcore fans do seem a bit.. uhm.. well.. mental.

      • though I imagine

        If you are part of a major label publicity drive, and spend all your day talking about yourself to journalists, it must be quite difficult to get any sense of perspective.

      • He has popped up everywhere though

        over the last few months, so I would imagine he isn't making up the stuff about the 'treadmill'.

        Besides, a messageboard is the last place to get any kind of sane statement from anyone, as evidenced by half the guff on this board. Take me for instance: I'm deeply ashamed of every single post I've ever written here, including this one.

        • True

          But surely he knows that anything vaguely controversial that he, Patrick Wolf, says on a Patrick Wolf messageboard will make its way elsewhere?

          For a supposedly intelligent man that seems ridiculously naive

          • TBH

            he seems hopelessly naive about lots of things and a 'bit' of a twat.

            Hugely talented though.

            • He does sound rather naive on a lot of issues

              I thought it was part of his cultivated persona, but now I'm not so sure.

              Either way, I don't think any of this is really a big deal - he's obviously just a bit tired and said something hasty - he's now corrected it. Not much of a story really.
