Liberal fool.

Nope. No racism there.

If you don’t care what others think, why are you wasting your time posting?

Don-
Pretty sure the Star Tribune editor decides what gets put in the variety and entertainment section of the paper, not Jon or Chris. That is why they have this blog, so big music fans can read reviews of shows around town.
Music critics in almost all newspapers are there to write about what is new and hot in the music business, whether that is in rap, rock, country, indie…..whatever. They are not gonna write a review about the Puddle of Mudd concert at the Myth, Howie Day at the Varsity, Less Than Jake at First Avenue (Thurdays) or Seether at the Cabooze. Why….because they are old news and BORING!!! That is what your message boards are for. When Chris and Jon don’t write about your favorite band, stop crying about it (like Timmy does on every column cuz they don’t write reviews about his favorite 93x bands). Go to your favorite boring band’s website and read and post all the reviews you want. This was a nice little blurb about the John Hiatt show. Probably could have used the setlist as well, but what more can you ask for? Write your own review and other fans can comment on that. I’ll be shocked as hell if I see that long of a review for the Drive By Truckers show at First Ave this week which I will be attending.

1- Where is the racism?

2- Ok. I guess I’ll ignore the Stribs own mission statement about accuracy.

La’quide,

I’m not here for your entertainement. Frankly, I don’t give a rats ass what you think. You and the other three subscribers can debate accuracy issues if it blows your hair back.

1. Let’s leave the racism out of it. Seriously. Your ignorance does not equal my entertainment.

2. Give Jon and Chris a break. With the cutbacks at the Strib, these guys are probably doing double duty taking in classified ads, and even mopping the johns for all we know. Time for fact-checking is a luxury they may no longer be able to afford.

Hey Timmy:

and Gretchen Wilson the “Redneck Woman”. Plus every “new flavor of the day” Country and rap artist that breezes thru town. Meanwhile John Hiatt a 30 plus year singer songwriter is mere footnote to them. I know my music tastes don’t appeal to the masses.

Don,

The Strib reserves print space for real talent like Brother Ali. You know, the albino rapper who acts like he’s African American.

John and Chris are on top of things.

Good critics.

Any reason that we can’t get a full Hiatt review printed in the Star Tribune with a photo? Rather than have it buried in this Pop Life Blog. Another incrdedible John Hiatt Show. I’ve seen over 20 during the past 15 years. My in depth views…later.
