Shame on the elitist Fred Wilson.

Just about the very last thing I would do to a musician whom I admire would be to debase them like that.

He is a jerk. That was consistent in much of what I read. Very elitist.

Not only does he bury the ledge in his self-referential philosophical drivel but he closes the layoff announcement with:

>"Finally, I hope you will join me tomorrow for Unplugged."

He seems like a caricature. Tone-deaf seems to be his default. As a reminder:

Yeah, what a patronizing piece of trash.

He's a dude who has made some of the worst records of all time.

Complete sellout and a dick.

>spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing

He's even jazzy with his insults

What a pretentious asshole.

Wow, this guy is pathetic.

Considering that "Fred" deliberately burned down a client's factory during payment negotiations, I think that "asshole" is quite an understatement.

wow, what a pretentious asshole

hristov | karma 11143 | avg karma 5.48 · | 2013-12-15 06:38:38+00:00

I agree, he is like Dave Berry. Absolutely horrible.

ZoF | karma 853 | avg karma 1.38 · | 2016-04-07 01:30:37

Couldn't agree more. What an utter plebeian; it's almost sad we have to associate with this ilk my good man.

sorry.... but what a dick.

A megalomaniac with no talent, that use his mates work to shine. He changed his handle but he's still the same pathetic lamer he was ~3 decades ago.

Damn Ivor Horton, somebody ought to call him and make him apologize.

kickaha | karma 467 | avg karma 4.45 · | 2023-02-15 08:54:26

What a pitiable man.
