I've always thought Steven King and Nick Hornby should lay off the music writing and stick to what they do best, mediocre fiction!

The fact that he wrote "31 Songs" to raise money for his autistic son's school displays even more callousness on your part than your usual "I'm 40 and angry that no one will listen to me" postings.

Blah blah blah
 
 Yay! for celebrities raising money! Yay! Aren't celebrities the most generous people in the world!
 
 But seriously, good for him for raising money. That doesn't make his writing any less lame.

It's good to have you back.  I was worried that the new girl in your life was going to ruin you.  I can now go back to ignoring your posts.

You sound like Brian Walalalace!
 Did he hack your account?

So you're basically saying I'm supposed to admire someone's artistic output because they do good charity work?
 
 Should I crank up some Don Henley every time I drive through a forest?
 
 Should I make a point of seeing every lame movie Angelina Jolie is in because she tirelessly fights for the orphans of the world?
 
 Should I cheer for the Miami Heat (and buy all his hip hop albums) because Shaq wants to eradicate childhood obesity?
 
 Excuuuuse me for having an opinion!

** puts on heartbreaker **
 
 thanks!

There are a few tasty tracks on that one, but some of the songs make me run for the skip button. "Amy" for one.

No.  It was more about the fact that somehow you forgot, overlooked, or perhaps never even knew that Nick Hornby started out as nonfiction writer, then a music critic for the New Yorker, London Times, and then became a critic on writing, before finally becoming the aforementioned "mediocre fiction" writer that you claim he is.
 
 I see where 15 years of music critique in New Yorker prose pales in comparison to a lifetime bearucrat with 15,000 posts on the 9:30 Message Board, but your opinion is your opinion.  It was your facts that I had a problem with.

Come pick me up
 Take me out
 Fuck me up
 Steal my records
 Screw all my friends
 They're all full of shit
 With a smile on your face
 And then do it again
 I wish you would

Sorry I'm not up to date on strip club etiquette, the beauty of a white belt, the glories of flirting with women other than my wife, or the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize worthy career of Nick Hornby. But goddaminit, I'm getting pretty good at changing a shit stained diaper!
