...problem with writing the bio of a loser is that after a while, his utter carelessness gets annoying. It's hard to read about Jimi doing nothing and mooching his way off his friends and not think, "What a jerk," or, like the hardworking cooks who throw carrots at him out the restaurant window, want to yell "Get a job asshole."
