Brian Setzer has got to be the most celebrated poser of the entire swing movement. I think he's a complete idiot. Here's why:

1. The man is ugly as anything. He looks like he fell out of a 100 story ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Those tattoos, ew. And what's with his hair? If you're going to do a pompadour, at least do it on the right guy. And no, boys and girls, pictures of him do not get any better.

2. He's full of himself. Even the website doesn't make any references to other guys in the band. Try finding the name of one of the sax or bone players, ain't gonna happen!

3. Sooo uncreative. No matter how hard he tries, he's still raping the greats of their songs and passing them off as his own. He totally cashed in on Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive, and Wail"

4. He can't sing. Any attempt to do so comes out as a gutteral hacking-up-a-hairball squak. The Stray Cats stuff is fairly decent (I've heard both versions of "Rock This Town"; the new one is garbage), but the recent stuff is just cacophonous excuse for singing.

5. WHO NAMES A BAND AFTER HIMSELF? How unclassy is that? Dave Matthews aside, no one in a band named after the singer ever gets recognized.
