(funny how Tool was always about "thinking for yourself" and questioning everything, yet their rabid fans are the least capable of doing so)

He seems to be very dry, and possibly may lack a sense of humor all together. It was odd that the filmmakers chose to show him selling his wine - autographing bottles - and then the purchasers making the comments they did.

Not being a big MJK fan, I didn't really care & moved on quickly.

He is very dry, and has a somewhat unique sense of humor. It's very subtle and obscure, but cleverand a little twisted. I mean, the guy wrote songs using fisting/anal sex as metaphors for personal growth.

His fans really are psychotic and obsessive. As a previous highest ranking member in the Tool Army I can say it was that sort of mentality and flat out ignorance that turned me off a bit. Because I was at that level, others in the fan club started deifying *me* and coming to me and trying to bring me into their drama/sad existance. I moved on quickly...

His wine is good, but not worth the premium. I hope to sell the few bottles I have left to some rabid fan some day at a 500% markup.

I was a bit curious of the wines quality. I couldn't recall the name of what to loom for the next time I'm @ Spec's.

Do they produce mostly cabernets and other reds?

It was like watching an infomerical.
