so i brought this up in another topic but i think it kinda deserves it's own thread. there's a local band whose lead singer is a guy with down's syndrome.

http://www.myspace.com/badclothes

here's an article on them.

Are they actually good (is HE actually good) or is this just some sort of sick publicity trick?

Consider clicking the link and reading, at a minimum, the headline: "Bill Gage has Down syndrome. And his band rocks"

I haven't actually seen them play but from the songs on their myspace, they're not much better than your average local act. The guy's brother is in the band with him and says that bill actually likes doing it and that's it's theraputic for him.

I'm at work and don't have access to MySpace, or I would have done just that.

This is cool, Jon. Thanks for sharing. I can't help but compare it to Preacher's "Arseface" hype, though.

Long as everything is kept on an even keel - go and play and have fun, maybe make a little scratch - then it seems pretty alright. If the band goaded him into turning it into a spectacle and sideshow, then the red flags start flying.

Did you read that article or are you just sitting around trying to be an inflammatory and reactionary prick?
