The most profound effect Them had on me was it made Randy Weaver a sympathetic person. You can tell who Ronson considers a clown - he lets them paint themselves up with no real assistance. But Randy Weaver and his daughter? Ronson basically lets them make their case and I found it compelling. I think where he really excels is in taking an absurd story, going "Here's a thing, here's what I saw, here's the questions I asked, kindly connect the dots" and then leaving you to wonder how you feel about it. There's a lot of ambivalence present in everything Ronson has to say about Frank Sidebottom, for example.
