Apparently besides being the idiot I first believed her to be, she also has no heart. Glad to read this because now that I have, it is easy to write this reviewer off in my mind. I know what you mean. In a twisted kind of way, I'm kinda glad the review is so ridiculous and even homophobic. It takes the sting out of the grade (which I realize isn't that low, but it should definitely be higher!), because you have to conclude that if the reviewer is this biased and stupid, she can't be taken seriously in her opinion of the music. I don't care about the B-. The reviewer is entitled to her opinion of his album. I don't agree with it of course. It's just that that thinly-veiled, or not.so.thinly.veiled homophobic writeup made me feel sick inside. I think she is mean and nasty and hugely homophobic. :( Think I better go read the RS review again to get that bad taste out of my mouth. :-/ |

I lived in Florida for 17 years and it's tough . All according to where you live. Sarasota was really conservative,Delray,Boca , very liberal.I was there when Gore lost the election to Bush. Remember the infamous butterfly ballot,no one knew how to vote.. the ballot was so corrupted. I lived in Boca during the 2000 election--in a very liberal district that somehow had a surge for Pat Buchanan. I still have the butterfly ballot instructions. Awful time. Then when I moved to Nashville ten years ago, I was so innocent about the South. I worked on the campaign to Vote No against an amendment added to the state constitution to ban gay marriage. We worked so hard, and I naively thought we had a shot. We lost 19% to 81%. I kinda like to just keep inside my little liberal bubble and not get too rattled. But when I can actively promote causes like gay marriage and--especially--separation of church and state, I'm there. Now, to bring it back to Adam--not too upset abt EW review. I never take their music reviews too seriously. My husband told me the other day he renewed our subscription and how expensive it was. At first I thought, Noooo! I was gonna let that expire! I really see a change in attitude toward Adam since Michael Slezak left. Much snarkier. Ive been subscribing to Rolling Stone for 30 years. Have always loved Rob Sheffield. I even read his book Life Is a Mixtape. I don't always agree, but he is one person with a true knowledge of rock history and doesn't have that too-cool-for-school attitude that prevents him from championing pure sophisticated pop. (I had to work to shake that indie snobbery in myself even!) |

Or maybe my instincts are completely off and Melissa Maerz' review is completely fair and she is not homophobic. It is possible.

Jordan. @jordanmeehan I blog about pop/electronica for EQ Music Blog and have a rock music fetish. Get at me: jordan@electroqueer.com London · www.eqmusicblog.com/Jordan. @jordanmeehan Just read the EW review of Trespassing. Give me a fucking break. Let me set things straight in the comments...some bullshit..... Adam follows him. If he doesn't know already, I think he does though, I am sure he will now. |
