Occupation: Pop star, style icon, political philosopher.
You're being snide. No I'm not. With cool sleight of hand, the Jamiroquai singer has used the publicity generated by news of his engagement to Denise Van Outen to address some bigger issues.
Such as? GM foods.
A worthwhile cause. What are his thoughts? "I always use organic vegetables," he tells the Sun. "I worry greatly about GM foods and the government is completely up the creek on that one."
How can they come downstream? Kay cuts through the political waffle with a simple but penetrating message for the government. "Sort it out," he says.
Any other issues? Clamping. "A friend of mine was clamped and had to pay £200. If he did that three times a week that's £600. That would send someone over the edge and they could rob someone."
What's the answer? "They've got to sort it out."
Phew, this man is unstoppable. Anything else on his chest? Road tax. "Look at all the taxes they're imposing on cars. I know I've got eight sports cars, but they're still taking the piss."
Someone clearly is. Don't tell me, they've got to sort it out? Look, at least he's showing an interest in the broad spectrum of domestic politics, which is more than most young people these days.
OK, let's try an easy one. Why does he want to marry Denise? "No one is like her at all," he says. "She's bonkers and makes me laugh, I wouldn't want anyone else."
A case of pot meet kettle? How predictable. Jay Kay is merely a man with a vision.
And his vision is? "Every Big Issue seller should be given a pushbike tandem and they can take people round. It will solve all the problems."
Do say: "Mr Kay, you are the voice of a generation. Would you like to join our think-tank?"
Don't say: "Just think what their kids will be like."
