[Beck's] sartorial bent and the way it was represented in the press didn’t captivate everyone. A few years ago, he bumped into Gregg Alexander, the lanky writer of the huge New Radicals’ hit U Get What U Give, which ended with the vituperative rap of “Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson / Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson / U’re all fakes / Run to Ur mansions / Come around / We’ll kick Ur ass in”.

“I was in a grocery store and he [Alexander] came running up to me, so apologetic, and saying, ‘I hope U weren’t offended. It wasn’t supposed to be personal.’ I was kind of pleased, because he’s a big guy.”
