Crouch is okay when he's covering social issues or politics. He kinda gets on my nerves with the rap thing (he hates it) and the jazz thing (he loves it). I'm sure there are guys out there that love reading his jazz pieces, I'm just not that much of a jazz fan.
I agree with Crouch on most issues too.He's a very creative,original thinker.
But you won't get today's kids in the hood to bump Coltraine and Aretha with any consistency.
