Radiohead's Thom Yorke on Wankers and Confronting Who You Are

"I'm humorless when I think people are wankers. You know, I'm not tolerant of idiots." ~ Thom Yorke of Radiohead

Today we tackle the challenges that just about everyone faces: confronting who you are and being comfortable with yourself and your life...even if you're a huge rock star like Thom Yorke. Writer and author Brian Raftery interviewed Yorke in 2006. It was for a profile Brian did for Spin magazine.The pair sat down for a few hours in a Philadelphia hotel. Yorke had a new solo album out. But then Brian asked Yorke--who was nearing 38 at the time--how he felt about getting older.
