Howard Stern, as much as I love him, just gets so out of his element with stuff that he is ignorant about. (ie. the Kyrie Irvin comment and Hozier comments recently). They make fun of “fake news” and “alternative facts” but then they give the listener these tidbits out of context and ultimately are creating perceptions based on “fake news” themselves.

I think Hozier’s first album had so many incredibly written lyrics with pretty pinpoint, fingerpicked guitar to match the emotion of the songs. The lyrics just lingered over these huge real life concepts/issues that he could soulfully belt out because he was given a 1/1000000000 voice. Jackie & Wilson, Work Song, From Eden, Sedated, Someone New are all A++ songs. Definitely listen if you haven’t given him a shot. Also, If you haven’t watched the Take me to Church music video, it’s pretty clear the song is about the conflicting reality of someones homosexuality with their religious beliefs. The video was like watching a horror movie. Even his album cover is amazingly artistic. I think he could be struggling to make songs that are as impactful as his first album, but only he knows. Anyways, had to show my love for a superb artist.
