One can only guess what motivated this attack (aside from the fact that
presumably Stewart sincerely believes it). It seems Stewart thinks it's all
right to attack musicians but not to point out the errors of "writers."
I could be wrong, but I can't even recall ever sending Stewart a cd to
review, though it's possible he could have acquired one some other way. And
while far be it from me to argue with the label of "talentless hack" applied
to me from the infallible authority of Stewart Mason, I will take some small
comfort in the people who, having ordered all four of my cd's, urge me to
record more music (though it's doubtful I will).
