Very true. In that interview I posted there are times where he seems motivated simply to shock or provoke by espousing deliberately non-pc views. I like MES but he sometimes needs to remind himself that pretending he's some down to earth speak-as-you-find type doesn't really wash when the actual reality is that he's a singer in an art rock band. It's easy to appear more working-class-than-thou in front of an NME journalist. I doubt he'd fair so well in a pub full of trawler fishermen though.
