Isn't that where they get the term grunge rock, The old blue jeans and flannel look of the early grunge rock bands (god bless Seatle). Quote from wikepedia on the subject,"many grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics".
And I disagree with the term "diva-ish" posted by the OP on this one. That arrogance characteristic is derived from confidence, which he admittedly lacked early on in his singing career.
OMG how did they not mention he has a brother with cancer if they did I totally missed it.
