I also think you could write a pretty good letter to a 17 year who just discovered Radiohead. Though you don't have the ego of Jim Morrison it still seems to ask to be taken seriously as an art form in its portrayal of the disconnect of modern life. Similar behaviors may result.......spending lots of time in your room, relishing and identifying with the alienation of modern life, thinking its profound but not really being able to identify why, and seeing yourself as being "different" in your self imposed exile from what's "normal". In short i think it does the same thing for a teenage mind which isn't to say thats bad but it is just the tip of the iceberg. I personally never listened to "Karma Police" and felt like it was a game changer or that it was something to be in awe of. In tackling similar subject matter i preferred Suede at the time. All in all i think Radiohead is a rite of passage too and later on you may think to yourself "was it really that great? Does it hold up?"
