A coupla months ago I was reading the business section of the Post andt hey name checked Bob Lefsetz’s music industry millions of subscribers to his music industry news letter.
So I subscribed.
Like, didn’t love him, on the industry, and found him just terrible on popular music.
But this week he has hit new heights of lousiness.
This guy has millions of readers? In a report on (not going) unsigned bands liveBobby L. claims not to have enjoyed watcjing an unsigned live act since since Jackson Browne in 1970. Why am I reading this? It isn’t music criticism. It isn’t even opinion. It ISN’T EVEN ANSWERABLE. One day the half wit is raving about non stop unsigned but touring Music, the next he is recommending you don’t go and watch em.
If all the world was Lefsetz, there would be no music. Lefsetz wouldn’t have gone to see the Quarrymen.
The live blood of popular music is teens making a racket. If Lefsetz’s doesn’t understand that his opinion is irrelevant.
Just has bad is his stomach churning rave over Nick Hornsby diabolical “Juliet, Naked” -a novel I dessicated last year. Hornsby is TERRIBLE. His novel is a joke. And only a completely out of it egotistical fathead like Lefsetz would believe otherwise.
Oh, and unsigned bands, send us your songs, invite us to your concerts…
