Re: [(TV) Tom as proto-Sting / Meltzer!]

[Jeff Strell <jeff.strell@www.usa.net>]

In defense of Mr. Christgau, let me say that while I agree he doesn't seem
like the type I'd want to hang with, he does have an uncanny ear for what
makes a good rock record.  Perhaps the best.  OK, definitely the best.  Let's
not forget that Marquee Moon got an A+, his highest accolade, and one that he
rarely offers up.

And in defense of Mr. Meltzer, his silly BOC lyrics helped get me through high
school.

And in fear of (again) sounding like an old fogey, why can't any of the modern
rock crits come even close to generating the exitement for their subject that
seemed to come so effortlessly to that first wave?
