I have to be honest with you, I'm a little conflicted when it comes to Straub. I mean, I like his work, most of it is if not brilliant then dang good at least. It's his association with Kurt that bugs me somewhat. It's like seeing a delicious cake on the table next to a pile of fresh shit. They don't touch or anything, they may even be under glass covers, but when you plan to take a bite out of that delicious, moist cake you can't help but think it was just a couple of inches away from that pile of shit.
Just my personal opinion.
