fair enough, jon. as you know, writers often don't see headlines until after
their stories run. kot doesn't cover classical, jazz, country, bluegrass,
folk, or numerous other forms of music and doesn't pretend to. being familiar
with his unassuming tone, i suspect he wasn't thrilled with the misleading
headline someone tacked onto his story. that said, chances are good that, in
the newstand edition, the piece appeared under a "rock" heading that tipped
readers to kot's beat and tempered the headline's immodest tone. bill f-w
