Oh yeah, I forgot.  Suicide is SOOOO funny to many 930 forum members.  Read the article, you hilarious doods.  It's so much better when rich kids stick with their own kind at the River Bend Country Club, isn't it.

Suicide Isn't Painless
 it hurts like Hell
 It's set aside for the famous
 a little suicide sells
 Nothing lasts forever
 but nothing ever did
 It's big but it's not clever
 and it's really not that big
 So no more tears
 you're a big boy now
 We'll have a few more beers
 we'll sort it out somehow
 
 
 You didn't post the article, nor a link to the article, your post did not mention suicide. We are meant to feel sorry about something we know nothing about.
 
 What is it like to be a loon?

Why don't you read the article.  
 
 The only one that mentions suicide is his mom.  The "artiste" himself just spouts off hackneyed angry-adolescent-with-a-little-learning ravings about capitalism being evil and speaks of how much he enjoys hearing people talk about him. It makes him feel like Batman!!!

yes.
 
  what do you think would happen if some poor black kid starting tagging up the suburbs?

since when was street art exclusively for underprivilaged folk?  If the artist turns out to not be "some dude off the streets" it isnt acceptable or good anymore?  wake up, street art is street art.

yeah, its just bad isnt it

[sonickteam2]

does he do any real painting or is he just scribbling shit on walls. cause thats just fucking lame. and its not art.
 
  does anyone have pics of any actual "art" that he does that they can post?
 
   and why doesnt he tag up his own neighborhood?

Am I missing something here?  Has this guy done anything other than writing his name and some cryptic messages around, in addition to a handful of stenciled faces?  How did he become some folk hero for the "I have a romanticized idea of being disenchanted" segment?  ALthough it is kind of nice to see people, now that they realize he's not a hobo but some rich kid, defend their love of him.  Yawn.

as an anarchist. He decided he doesn't believe in the state, capitalism, private property, globalization. Most of all, he doesn't believe in adulthood, which he considers "boring" and "selling out.

 Gee I wonder how that kid enjoyed that flight to Scotland?  What airline do you suppose he flew?  I wonder if his mom paid for the ticket with the Great  Falls upbringing?  Do you think he flew biz-ness class?

 These type are pretty cool. The lame shit and just scribbling are probably not him.
