I love how Segal's bio sez that a Dead Kennedys show changed his life. yeah, so much so he became a legal writer who was moved to the rock-writing job because the Post decided its 53-year-old rock critic was too old for the job. Segal isn't rock, he isn't roll, my god he's both.

all said, I still think Christgau writes in code too often these days. I'm not against looking something up in the dictionary but come ON...

I can't get Troy McClure saying "I hear he plays the banjo!" out of my head everytime somebody writes the word Segal on this thread.
