The M.O.
Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

Long known as a complete control freak and a bit of a paranoid, Prince is making news again for trying to control his image. The rock legend shocked and awed fans with his cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” at Coachella in April. Soon after, the clip made it to YouTube, of course. That did not please the Purple One, who soon had the clip taken down.
In a recent interview, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke talks about his bemusement regarding the clip and says he thinks that his band, which owns the copyright to the song in question, should be the ones who decide whether the clip is online or not.
From the AP story:
“Really? He’s blocked it?” asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not.
“Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment.”
Yorke added: “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our (expletive) song.”

That’s funny. I must say I was a bit flabbergasted when Prince broke into “Creep” at Coachella but really it was quite enjoyable I thought.
