      <![CDATA[Hi Josh,<br>
Just watched the PBS video of the show, was looking for info, found your review.<br>
I'm over 4 times 12 and I can save you some time on this one. Even when your reviews get published and read, nobody cares about what you do or don't like.

      <![CDATA[Reviewer comes across as a douchebag hipster trying to impress his hipster friends with "clever" comments that are actually snarky and asinine.<br>
<br>
I'm glad your parents deposit money in your bank account while you try your hand at becoming a music critic in the big city.<br>
<br>
At least they love you, and think you're worth their time and money.<br>
<br>
Nobody else does.

      <![CDATA[To copy your random thoughts style...<br>
<br>
How does stating that "Vietnam" inspired him to write "Mother and Child Reunion" make him sound like a "white Jew from Queens"? Explain, rather than trying to crowbar in a joke that makes no sense.<br>
<br>
Paul Simon is short.

      <![CDATA[@Jesse There's just something a little too goofy about "Rewrite," particularly the way it's performed live, that makes it feel like such a lightweight, touch to take seriously track. As for The Rhythm of the Saints: it has two of my favorite Simon solo songs—the aforementioned "Obvious Child" and "The Cool, Cool River," both gems—but I've never been a fan of the rest of the album.

      <![CDATA[@georgiadog It's a concert review, in which I was critical of the performance and tried to do something more interesting than, "At the age of 69, Paul Simon took the stage at the intimate Webster Hall in front of a packed audience, playing both the classics and material from his new album, So Beautiful, or So What."<br>
<br>
And I'll have you know I'm almost twice the age of 12!

      <![CDATA[1 way you know the critic is more interested in snark than analysis....When he uses a tired trick of listing thoughts instead of having to put together smart, coherent criticism that at least tries to pass the smell test.. "When Simon holds an acoustic guitar, it completely dwarfs him"?

      <![CDATA[I can't buy "Rewrite" as a kid song "disguised" for adults. The lyrics, if you listen closely, describe an older guy who had a nervous breakdown and is now scraping by working at a car wash, fantasizing about a different version of his life where he's not estranged from his family.
