Is it even possible to be a music writer with objectivity?  Would you  
want it even if it could happen? Imagine if there was one columnist  
out there that could tell you for certain, beyond all doubt, that you  
sucked...heavy prospect...Its not like this guy was out gathering a  
lot of empirical data with lasers and abacuses here..

So the guy is all fired up.  Good.  Be a crappy article if he wasn't.

But I also like REO and hate Phil Collins, so what the hell do I know?
