Isn't that kind of the point of the song? That he TOTES deserved to be called asshole.

OK maybe not the point of the song. But that's totally how I hear it when I listen to it.

Get rid of those shoes.
But they are really cute! And they won't do that once I break them in more!
SHOOOOES.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Faulkner was such a tino!!!!!
He was. He ignored people during the Post Office's posted hours and hid in the back, drinking and writing.
Actually, I have an anti-rant about Customer Service that's been boiling on my brain.
Emmett's catcher's mitt needs to be completely restrung and resewn. The guy who is the local expert in the bay area is a shoe repair guy in the East Bay. And if you look at Yelp about this guy (Kensington Cobbler fyi) people (a) acknowledge he's a master of leather work, and (b) he has poor customer service because he tells people their shoes are too shitty to be fixed. Like a typical review will say "He's five stars for the quality of his work and his knowledge of the subject, but two stars for insulting my shoes."
And my take (which I realize is in the minority, especially around here) is: Fuck those people with their shitty shoes. Respect and defer to his genuine depth of knowledge on the subject. He offers incredible value for the cost of his work so take your stupid ass sense of entitlement and cram it. If he tells you that your shoes are crappy and ill-made then take his word for it. He actually knows he's talking about.

Take a picture of them, they can be cute there forever. You can have pics of shoes down your hall.

Well, as I see it the point of the song is that if you're good enough then being an asshole is beside the point. Which relates back to my shoe-maker in the above post and my defense of irresponsible artists who make great work at the expense of their families, friends and posting your letter.

Why celebrate rudeness? You can be good at a skill or an art and be not an asshole.

Yes. There's no reason to be rude, even if you know what you're talking about.
