Hahaha, that figures. He wrote a terrible opera called "Violet." He also wrote a pretty terrible book about Wagner (OK, I haven't read it, but I can tell by the title) and like I posted earlier, his book on the aesthetics of music has some HILARIOUS commentary on rock music. What he says about REM is particularly funny. I'll look it up tomorrow. He comes off as a real jackass old fart.
But, even though he's a "cockbag', he can sometimes concoct snotty and somewhat convincing arguments that are fun to use as shit-sticks, right? The inspiration for thread, for example.
