> [@ShadowFacts](#): > > Everything I’ve read about him makes me think he was a very talented dude who got waaaaay too high on his own supply, so to speak. I know he had his reasons, but anyone who changes their name to an unpronouncable symbol is probably a bit overly convinced of how “special” they are. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > The really funny bit is his latest(?) album is him singing, get this, Elvis songs. Somehow he convinced himself he could pull that off. He…does not. Hehehe, the only good thing he’s ever done is the early Misfits where he was doing his best at an Elvis impersonation.

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > Zappa made somewhat similar comments in later years, professing to divide people he dealt with regularly into two categories - family and employees. But Zappa was fond of cynical, sardonic pronouncements and it is apparent that throughout his life he did indeed have many people that were fond of him and vice versa. Zappa was such a complex individual that’s it’s really difficult to pin him down. Some people who knew him and worked with him loved him. Some didn’t. Many a books have been written about him. ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > Even if he wasn’t a jackass; I can’t take Glenn Danzig seriously, because Glenn Danzig takes himself seriously. He has directed two movies that are astonishingly horrible. Like, MST3K worthy. They also show that he is a very, very strange guy. Very strange. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > My brother did PA? AD? work on-set back in the 80s with Jane Seymour and apparently the whole crew eventually tried to have as little to do with her as possible. The internet seems to say the opposite, she gets praise from Directors and coworkers, etc. ---

Huh. Could’ve been a total crap production she had to deal.with (in my brother’s case), or she could’ve possibly been going through rough times, at the time. ---

Jane Seymour had a few guest spots in Dharma and Greg. Is having a guest spot on a normal show a sign that a star is not hard to work with? I’d think they’d not want to invite the shitty ones… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-celebrities-are-known-for-being-jerks-that-are-not-named-chevy-chase/919839.md?page=26)
