Thread Name: how is Nic Jones
Subject: RE: how is Nic Jones
I have heard Nic's music. It still doesn't change my opinion of the cover art on the latest CD.

Being disabled doesn't mean you have compassion and decency, any more than being a musician means you have compassion and decency. A tiny minority of disabled people do, at times, wish to draw attention to themselves from the able bodied communities, and offend and alienate other disabled people in the process, which is what I believe he has done here. He is getting a cheap laugh at the expense of disabled people, IMO.

I stand by what I said. My opinion of Nic Jones plummeted when I saw the cover of Unearthed. You can try and sanitize the cover art all you want, but I'm not buying it anymore than I'm buying your suggestion that Nic's humanity is demonstrated in his music. I disagree on both counts.
