Re: “The guide to the week's concerts”

It's always amusing when some kid gets asked to write a review about a band he doesn't care about, and he projects his tastes on to the entire world. I guess that's the job of a music critic. "I think Tori Amos is for humorless clowns! React to me!"

I've never been a huge Tori Amos fan, but I went to the show anyway, and it was astoundingly good. I mean astoundingly, astonishingly, mesmerizingly good. And from the packed house around me that agreed, either no one agreed with your assessment, or more likely, no one bothered to read it.
