Mark — I knew we were more on the same page than it sounded. No major objections except for one point about Brooks himself. I reread the column and he doesn’t actually say he doesn’t like contemporary music per se. His point was about fragmentation, and that was mostly a matter of observation rather than lament. Van Zandt carries the water on the lamentations. Anyway, I’m off to pick up the Goldberg’s turkey. Back in a while.
