Au contraire...he seems very *much* to have to be a dick about it. To wit: > Yes, pitiable indeed.

Your whole act here -- whether parody or serious -- is an attempt to pretend that a few hundred "hangers on" to a dead spiritual movement in a backwater town in Iowa that no one has ever heard of are somehow "special" and "more spiritual" than others. Curtis blows more spirituality in every note of his harmonica playing than you will ever blow out of your ass with elitist rants like this one. He, after all, is playing for his equals, with no intent but to entertain and uplift. You are seeking to "lift yourself" by claiming that someone is "beneath you." This act is really getting old. *It* -- not Curtis -- is beneath you.
