Apparently, this guy doesn't "get it"

And Mac is just "a guitarist"

I always thought of him as a siniger, songwriter, producer, and the one that cracks me up: Alan Jackamacson!

See, I think the country could use a little more fantasy. But that's just me.

If we weren't all crazy we'd all go insane. I try to live by that as much as I can. Obviously, he doesn't.

My local paper's music guy is also a complete (sorry UAH) asshat. He gives good reviews to today's "popular" singers (ie. Maroon 5, Eminem, Ashlee Simpson). However, you couldn't pay him to give a good review to the aging rockers like the Stones, Jimmy, or more recently Elton John. It's rediculous. If you going to review music, you have to have a musically open mind. You have to be willing to give a good review to performers from Bubba to 50 Cent, to Cher (

), to Ashlee Simpson (

).

Clearly...I remember reading this Labor Day morning before the afternoon concert...figured the critic let his politics get in the way...about the only "criticism" I have about a Buffett concert is that I still miss Fingers....

What an asshat.......

(sorry to 'borrow', UAH)

And a moron......

"Only a guitarist" eh? For a music critic, you'd have thought he might have done his homework just a little better.

Asshat.....

Not that I agree with ANYTHING that this asshat says, but I think everyone is over-reacting to the "only a guitarist" line.

I'm pretty sure it was one of the few complimentary things he said in the article. He meant, "....was only JOINED by a guitarist". I don't think he was being derragatory towards Mac at all.

He can't. She doesn't sing.

No, but her tape recorder does.

Maybe not, but it still made me happy to jab at him for it. At best, his grammar suckks, for someone who's supposed to be a journalist.
