Yeah well this is a real job as far as i'm concerned. It's the most basic form of existence. He's just performing this in a time where no one seems to enjoy it anymore. An entertainer with a message of sour truth. People prefer sweet lies now days.
There's nothing "emo" about this. It's just meditation on life itself. He's not saying he doesn't hates life "I question my own life enough so I don't like to be around this darkness all the time" and he says how humans are a mixture of a lot of different things, sucesses and failures and he says yes he wishes he had more money or his projects had more recognition, but what's important, and what makes this interesting, is this sense of transcendence through music
The life which he has chosen, because it feels most natural to him, is hard. The fact that he chose it, or that other people have worse lives, may help make him feel better, but it doesn't mean his problems are somehow invalid. Interesting video
There's been far too much anger directed at this video. Why does it offend people that the guy doesn't have a 'real' job. Nowhere does he claim that it's impossible for him to get one. Nor does he attack people who do have normal jobs. He doesn't say that his problems are equivalent to those of Son House or Charley Patton, just that they created timeless music with theirs.
not much to say....white guilt and an overabundance of life oppurtunities....and a whole lot of self importance has led these white kids into brooklyn in the hopes of finding themselves, while overpaying for rent....there are a few shiners in every group...but for the most part they congregate...interdate...starve themselves to look like... well um hipsters...and spread their bad politics and art all over the place.

Reminds me of the "Diary of a Carny" Blog. You can find it on google if you're interested in this kinda stuff.
