Yet another Pazz and Jop flame :-)

Village Voice has really been aggravating lately. Just saw the cover
for this week's rag (haven't even read it yet): what's this about
Talking Heads winning "FINALLY"????????????????? As if it's not bad
enough that David Byrne and fellow eccentrics are becoming mega-popular
for the one Heads album that has no right to exist (read: I HATE IT, it's
unadventurous, condescending and a prettied-up rubber bone thrown to
the Top 40 masses), but almost everyone is behaving as if "Little Critters"
is FINALLY the masterpiece (puke) they should have made all along,
oh gee whiz isn't this great avant garde stuff (yes, I heard that on
a radio station here and might have attacked the car stereo, but I
was in the back seat.)

(By the way, Doug, Byrne has always insisted on not having the "the"
in front of Talking Heads. Nobody's perfect:-)
