Using Mystery Train, Three Songs, Ten Songs, and Real Life Rock as jumping-off points, David Cantwell discusses GM’s impact as a critic and his ability to “[hear] what you didn’t hear or [nail] precisely what you did.” Published in The New Yorker, December 2, 2015.
Very interesting and subtly critical article.
Marcus repeats the “you can’t fool me!” criticism of critics to great effect in the Disneyland piece elsewhere on this site. This is significant, I swear.
