Nicky Wire is both cool in the archetypal rent-a-gob, not-afraid-to-look-stupid classic rockstar way, and also because he reverses the traditional totems of cool and makes sensitivity, intelligence and abstinence appear sexy. He is by turns a humanist and a fervent misanthropist, and it's the aggressive wit with which he morally justifies this contradiction that makes him cool.
