in music, there are no losers

Met music writer Robert Morast at EMP last weekend. he's from Sioux City, N. Dakota, and I know exactly ONE PERSON who is also from this great state, a person named Chad who was learning to make hip hop beats at The Recording Workshop, this funny place I went to in the summer of 1997 to learn how to clean tape heads. Bet ya didn't know I could do that. Anyway, I asked this Robert did he know a guy named Chad who made hip hop beats and guess what? He did. The midwest is funny like that.

Anyway, Robert wrote an article about music criticism (which is linked thru his name, above) and concluded, through this statistical analysis that Motley Crue is the worst best selling band of all time. Hmm, I wonder what Klosterman would say about that? I know what I would say, "BOLLOCKS," and would point to my 8th grade yearbook, published by one Neil Publishers, which was modified into an "I heart Vince..." by yrs truly, A1 crue fan. Amass knowledge, think clearly, exact judgment and whip it with style, that's my game, and it's one I hope is a little more subtle than March Madness.
