BTW, does this mean that Deerhoof isn't the best band in the world, or will they get to keep the title?

now he's off the writers list! Soon he'll be deleted from all our memory files.

Hello, Bob Greene! (who, like albom, started out with a shred of human decency)

ohh bob greene....that was a hard fall

bob greene writes for the jewish world review now (i think). which is probably a fine periodical...

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:02 (twenty years ago)

i'm searching for albom's interior monologue as ben wallace so that we can hunt for the real killer here but i'm coming up with nothing.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:02 (twenty years ago)

"senior associate editor" = "co-executive producer"

I'm still confused what makes this guy (whom I don't know) a satirist. The target in his cases seem to be the form - giddy/stupid pop-culture features - first and foremost, not the subject. That's the difference between, say, "Weird" Al's "Fat" or "Eat It" and Randy Newman's "Rednecks." It's also what keeps things like the Onion and the Daily Show so sharp - imitation of the form (newspaper/newscast) is just the platform for satire, not the whole of the joke.

Wiley was like a soccer dad who desperately wanted to be cool. Obviously I didn't wish any harm to come to him, but I don't miss his writing.

Bayless' work is the ... er, gold standard for shitty opinion pieces.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:04 (twenty years ago)

Wasn't it Bayless who wrote the piece about how the Knicks' acquisition of Steve Francis was a brilliant move, because know Larry Brown has the perfect lineup of underachievers upon which to work his magic?

OMGLOL. I mean, if you're that wrong about something, do you still qualify as an expert? Can he be decertified? That's like being a lifeguard and letting a child stricken with polio go off the high dive.

"Movies with the same groundbreaking theme to come:

* "Westward Homo!"

* "The Magnificent, Fabulous Seven"

* "Gunfight at the K-Y Corral"

* "How West Hollywood Was Won"

OK, back to predictions. The best director award will go to ... Ang Lee, director of "Brokeback Mountain." (For analysis, see above.) Also, this is gays directed by an Asian, which should satisfy the gaysians. Hands down: Ang Lee."

That Coulter piece is a classic. Oh, Ann you're so 2003.

― M. Biondi (M. Biondi), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm the advisor for a college newspaper and I have to constantly remind the students not to make shit up. Fabricating quotes is a sign of laziness. You make up quotes in fiction, not in journalism. Whoever makes up quotes knowing the rules posted by the publication for which he's writing deserves his fate.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:53 (twenty years ago)

his fate is probably to get canned by the Voice, go off to write a pretty entertaining mea culpa memoir which is 33% "it's not my fault, the bad editors made me do it", 33% "it's not my fault if squares just don't get it it, swiftian satire is my bag", and 33% "it's not my fault, i was high as a kite" and to go on to write screenplays for various SNL alumni, starting with the feature-length adaptation of the narnia rap. if not that, there's always Vice.

Whoever put that Coulter link into this thread is the one who should be fired. Kudos to JWR for their equal opportunity hiring of a NAZI for their publication.

I would personally pay Nick to write a book-length "it was because I was smoking half an ounce of purple-haired Carmel buds per day" sorta deal

"Nat Hentoff

i said there were some exceptions. and some of the people on that list i am not familiar with. they may not be idiots.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:13 (twenty years ago)

hentoff is only totally off the money like 2/3 of the time.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:25 (twenty years ago)

Have you read his jazz writing?

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:27 (twenty years ago)

i pray to god i'm on the money as often as he is in when i'm 81

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:29 (twenty years ago)

I think he's one of the best jazz writers I've read, along with Ralph Ellison. But I generally haven't read much of his recent political stuff the odd essay aside.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:31 (twenty years ago)

i just mean his political stuff, and only then sometimes. but on those times he can be totally maddening.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 3 March 2006 05:47 (twenty years ago)

Hentoff was waaaaay off when it came to the Terri Schiavo fiasco. I don't know shit about jazz so I'll assume he's more than competant in that arena.

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Friday, 3 March 2006 06:18 (twenty years ago)

I couldnt bring myself to read this whole thread because of how dumb it is on so very many levels, but I cannot figure out why Coulter is writing for a Jewish publication. What the fuck is going on?

― fkj, Friday, 3 March 2006 06:21 (twenty years ago)
