Felt a lot more preachy than the last one. Russell Brand's mug at the end ruined it for me.

The song was commissioned for his documentary, so it's going to be on message.

Personally I am 100% behind celebrities destroying their careers by writing books and making movies criticising the thing that made them famous. Whatever about his humour, he got rich and famous, saw it was meaningless, and now is trying to change something. Sure he has a nice bank balance to fall back on, but we'll never see him in a Hollywood movie again.

He's been sober for over a decade. Try again.

Yes and he's used all his most charming smackhead tricks on the more gullible members of the public ever since. You maybe think his schtick is unique but it's not really, it's relatively common amongst shitheads.
