No, no, no... let us be clear.
There's the Steve Miller Band, who I've grown to appreciate much more over the years, especially since I caught them at Red Butte Gardens and found out what a fundamentally cool guy Steve Miller really is (when he spoke about the need for arts education, and brought up some 14 year old guitar player to do the riffs on one of his timeless classics).
... and then there's Stephen Miller, the condescending, hot-headed, unreasonable 32-year old A-hole, who had a reputation in high school for taking extreme positions in debate class and yelling down anyone who disagreed.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
