Most think I have a split personality. ("Who says that?" "They do!" "Shut up! I'm trying to write!")<BR/><BR/>By the way, I agree with you about tepid arts journalism, which is not only overly polite, but almost totally lacking in thought or ideas. People magazine could do a better job -- at least there'd be pix.<BR/><BR/>I think our point of divergence is the attitude toward the general audience and the American people.Scott Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465161646609405658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16876687.post-34279931494037936642009-02-22T10:26:00.000-05:002009-02-22T10:26:00.000-05:00Back up a sec.You are a fighter.
