Huh. That's how you see criticism that doesn't go out of its way to casually
sneer at events? As dishonest boosterism? That's pretty simplistic, Grayson.
The point is there are plenty of thoughtful, useful ways for critics to
express what they like and don't like about specific bands or styles of
music. Your new "little box" isn't one of them. It's really ill-conceived
and you should drop it. Get your critics to write better about what they
don't like and why, but jesus, don't sit there and encourage wide-angle
potshots that hurt other bands.

todd print out grady's response and pass it around morman
