Oh yeah, haha I burnt out on The Locust long ago. After listening to them extensively for quite some time, I finally just said "Okay, I get it."

I actually met Pearson at a Locust show, and I didn't hassle him by marking out or anything, just a simple, "What's up dude?", he actually seemed surprised that I recognized him without his costume on.

But yeah, that whole Three One G scene is full of notable bands. Swing Kids were probably the best of the bunch though.

Yes but in reality both Dylan and Lennon were a bit to honestly serious to be compared with true anti-hero rock stars, because in reality these guys are actually heroes. Dylan was the anti-hero in the Salinger sense, but was not quite as elaborately a rock-star about any of it. Lennon, true, was probably very near the kind of anti-hero rock star you see in the antics of 1991: The Year That Punk Broke, but again, in all honesty Lennon was way to serious and effectively used his sportlight as a platform and rightfully so, the man is a real martyr. But I can see the similarities in anti-hero antics between the two, but I think Kurt was uniquely the epitome of this kind of persona, and best of all it was sincere and even a kind of naivete
