I think the writer of this article has a screw loose.
VERY strange piece of writing.

It is weird: “Hey, its Billy’s birthday...I’m going out of my way to trash him.”
It’s just another example of an elite enlightened one reinforcing their shitty tastes by denigrating the favorites of fly over country people. While I’m not a big Joel fan, wouldn’t trash him. For that matter, if I thought an artist/musician really sucked, I’m definitely not going to waste any of my precious minutes listening to their every work so I can spend even more hours writing a tome ranking on them.
