I've been reading the blogs of this guy-Bob Lefsetz. He writes about music...inevitably. He'll start off writing about television, politics, business, the iPad-anything, really-but he'll always end up circling back around to making some point about music. Sometimes he'll use specific examples, sometimes he'll just drop vague implications, but there's always something there.
Lefsetz writes like a fan who grew up with (rock) stars in his eyes, but then grew up with a cynical lump in his throat. He's as apt to call out Ticketmaster on their "convenience" charge injustice and bemoan the pitiful state of rock concerts today as he is to champion a real-life Bad Blake and debate the upside to alcoholism and drug addiction to an artist's creative impulses. Occasionally he'll dive deep into something relevant only to those in the great northern yonder (Canadian, he is), but on the whole I can make it through without wikipedia's help.
He's good people.
