It's 2012 so I am a bit late
I was looking for comment on Arcade Fire
Then I got taken up with the comments on the piece noted above
I remember one occasion when I got dissed
by a well known artist
when I was introducing him
in the Berkshires
one summer in the early 1970s
Reading the back and forth comments above
I wondered what it would be like
if one met Bob Dylan on a bad day
or any other artist when the spectrum of her personality
was on the nasty angels' side
I guess it hits a button for me
because I certainly do not form an opinion
based on such stuff
In return I reserve my right
to like or dislike a person's work
based entirely on what it means and does to me
Arcade Fire does excellent things to me
particularly Suburbs
I think most criticism is meta-crap
Call me impossible but it makes appreciation a lot easier
Check out the post noted above
and its comments for context
