The other day on NPR I heard a music critic going on & on about this new
rock band that suddenly has become very popular. It seems that a music
critic, while surfing the net, came across them, wrote about them & now the
music world is going batty over them.
Honest to Gawd! They are nothing but a garage band making horrible noises.
And this NPR critic was talking about them as if they were the Beatles
reincarnated. And he is doing this with a straight face as if he really
believed it.
I guess he did. '
