Because I heard Marc Maron and Tom Scharpling talk about Maron's critics on this board on the latest live ep of WTF, I just want to say that I've had a positive change-of-heart regarding Mr. Maron's interviewing style as well as his comedy (both things that I've criticized here.)
Through listening to even more episodes of WTF and reading interviews of him, I've grown to appreciate Maron, his work, and his interviewing style, and I understand now that he's basically a vulnerable, thoughtful guy who has interesting theories on what makes comedians tick.
So, Mr. Maron, I think you're great. And if you're thinking "why does this guy think I'm vulnerable?", I'll just say that your status as a cat-lover is a dead giveaway. :-)
