Which I guess is true enough, and in Tweedy the musician's case, ignoring
the nuances might be understandable, but in the case of the interviewer,
well, all I'll say is this is one of the reasons one should be wary of rock
critics (someone please be sure to forward this to off-list Neal <g>). Not
that critics in other fields are necessarily better, I hasten to add.

Better late than never.
