Ethan Hawke is a pretentious moron

Now normally I don't rant about stupid celebrities because, well, it would take too many hours out of the day. I am making an exception in the case of Mr. Ethan Hawke, fucking moron. First of all I read his shit novel The Hottest State which was wannabe hipster schlock. But that's not the reason for the rant. He was interviewed recently by Entertainment Weekly because he's turning his shit novel into what I am sure will be a shit movie. As a part of his interview they asked for his "Must List", things that he believes people should check out because he really enjoyed them. I was excited to see Wilco's Sky Blue Sky was one of those things as you all know I am a big Wilco fan. Then I read his comment, the fucking twit:
Hawke, a fan of frontman Jeff Tweedy, loves Wilco's latest. ''It starts with a happy little guitar riff and the line, 'Maybe the sun will shine today.' I felt like, 'He's happy!' And I thought, 'I am too!' Corny, but I love him.''

Uhhhh... wow... what an utter misunderstanding of that song. Do you know anything about Jeff Tweedy you jackass? How about you listen to the second line? Here is the first verse for your edification:

Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won’t feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way

There's nothing happy about that song twit, it's hopeful, but not happy. The song is about accepting the situation you are in, hoping for the best, but working to understand and live with the fact that the best might not be what you get. It is a beautiful song filled with hope and longing and some self realization, but happy? Happy?
