<< Jeff Weiss says: <<According to Grant Alden, writers do not control the
"Star System." Editors make those decisions.>>
<<That makes no sense. How does that prevent a reviewer from writing a review
that is accompanied by a star rating that has no relation at all to the text
of the review?>>
In my experience, editors ask for your rating and then tweak it as they feel
necessary.

music business. Well, at least that's how the oft-referenced Greg Kot
positioned himself during a panel at lat year's (?) SXSW.
