The reviewer seems to have focused on a few artists in particular -- McCartney, The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson (and even one by Dennis Wilson), Dylan, even Alice Cooper. Of course, as he says in his header, "Sacred cow is always on the menu." I just wonder if he has a particular burr under his saddle about those guys.
I did like the linked op/ed piece from
The Week, "What Rock Fans Don't Want to Admit." No surprises in it, but food for thought, especially for someone who devotes significant time each Friday to the music, in a public format.
