I guess what strikes me most about Lefsetz, despite his professed love for
music, is how little music he actually likes.
The guy is always banging on about how this band is getting it wrong, or
this band doesn't know what it's doing. Or, in a nod to the ultimate in
boomer self-absorption, how nothing's as good as The Beatles on Ed Sullivan,
or Woodstock, or The Eagles, or whatever boomer icon band he's paying homage
to.
I just can't stand the self-absorption and it seemed to hit its apogee with
The Who post. Seriously, are you watching the Super Bowl for the music. And
he actually said it was a boring game. I'm not even sure which telecast he
was watching.
