I wasn't attacking your posting of the review--in fact, thanks for it, regardless of its quality. I was attacking the review and more broadly the state of the rock journalism industry, and only when prompted by your weak defense of it. If I had noticed that both posts--the link and the "maybe it'll gain them some new fans" defense--came from the same, already defensive poster, I would have refrained. I missed the humor, too... hardly my fault, I think. And speak for yourself re: getting out more & "anorak"-dom. I wasn't ranting to an e-mail list on Saturday night, and clearly I don't read rock magazines. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 09:37:51 -0400 From: "Mike Edwards" Subject: [idealcopy] live wire!

I'm just as likely to listen to an artist that gets 'they were terrible' reviews as I am to 'they were great' reviews. and NO review has EVER 'made me like someone I don't like just because the reviewer liked 'em', or not, so what's the point? as for this discussion, I think you're both being too 'thin skinned' and need to chill out, it wasn't an attack on you Keith as I read it and cc, your response is about as 'bad' as mine used to be, kiss and make up guys, and move on.

So to hell with the reviewer! I shall never take him seriously again. - -- "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens." - David Byrne.
