*Yeah, I hate his music writing style, when he turns it on full-pitchforkian-tilt (just not my taste I guess), but other that that no ill will to him personally.

OTM.
And even if it is made up, it's hardly inconceivable, it would barely matter if it was frankly. I'd expect as much (or certainly massive scoops of IRL exaggeration) from this kind of feature!

Despite the tunnel vision of the blogosphere, I wouldn't exactly call Nick Sylvester a public figure.
Plus, I think having a scarlet letter on his resume would be "call[ing] his ass out" enough. Let the guy be.

i get why 43rd is kinda provoctive
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 01:22 (eleven years ago) link
but i know nothing about bikes
i guess i didn't get the 43rd bday thing either since i thought if you've had that many birthdays 1) you don't care as much 2) hopefully it's more likely you can afford to buy a new bike?

i like the part where he sees the bike is parked outside a social services building and gives a kind of knowing sigh as if to say "times are tough pal, but not on my watch."

Isn't Rosen riding that bike because he frequently writes about early 20th century music and this bike fits that old-school ethic
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 16:55 (eleven years ago) link

that is a terrible reason to ride an ugly bike IMO
