Ben Kweller
On Tour4,761,925 plays (288,866 listeners)
Kweller began his solo career with his 2002 debut Sha Sha which included the very radio-friendly and popular single ‘Wasted & Ready’. The title track reconciles his past career efforts with Radish and the difficulty of finding an identity as a 20 year-old artist beginning a musical career for the second time. The record kept many of the familiar sounds of Nirvana, but also worked in other pop music influences such as Weezer and Ben Folds. The album grew in popularity with a grassroot effort with his website and a promotion group called TeamBK, which promoted word-of-mouth advertising.
In 2003, Kweller toured Australia with Ben Folds and Ben Lee as The Bens. The trio produced an eponymous EP. Kweller’s second solo effort, 2004’s On My Way, has attempted to match the modest but well-received popularity of Sha Sha while creating a more mature and subdued sound.

I've totally forgot about the good man Ben. I used to listen to his music all the time a couple of years ago. I even thought myself In Other Owrds on the piano. I'm not much of a singer, but I totally loved to sing the song while playing it on the grand piano. Those where the days, no worries and all hapiness. Perhaps I ought to find the albums i bought if I'm able.

You said he's been nude "at one point in his life." If you had said he has been nude at multiple points in his life it would be different. I wouldn't have assume that his clothes stink; in fact I would think he is a normal person. How am I supposed to feel about the fact that he has been nude?
