Yorke is a rockstar in the same sense that graffiti writers are artists. They're punk, driven, and built for the people. Yorke commands an emotional cloud over his audiences, yet he is outspoken about the rights of music owners and how music should be distributed. He was the first musician of all time to release a free album off of his label and was comfortable settling in court with the donated earnings he got from generous fans. In addition to that, Yorke brings immense amounts of passion to the stage whenever he steps on it, and when he steps off, it's back to activism.
