blessingx Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) "... Reed's anger only proved that Christgau's grades did matter: He's not a part of the industry, he's not currying anybody's favor, and he's disdainful of hype. When it comes down to it, who do you trust to tell you the truth about a new album? The label? The artist? Or the cranky dude who has made it his mission to be purely, aggressively honest about everything he's ever listened to for almost half a century?"http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/almost-famous-the-b-adventures-of-robert-christgau-1687452336 Edited February 26, 2015 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
