Retards with their own magazine

Jan 20, 2005 14:43

Ok, everyone. I thought I'd heard some lame fuckers talk about "art" before but this takes the cake. I'm referring to Vincent Bozzi, the publisher and editor-in-chief of Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living, a moronic, poorly-written and insufferably yuppie-centric glossy read by all the vacant, emotionally dead rich white people of the Inland Northwest. It's truly hideous and clueless, but no more so than when it attempts to comment on art.

You absolutely have to read Bozzi's "Lilacs and Lemons" column (sort of a "cheers & jeers" thing) in the Feb. 2005 edition to believe it. For god's sake DON'T BUY IT! Just read it on the newsstand (pg. 22) - then get ready to pull all of your hair out and shove your fist through the nearest plate glass window.

In it, Bozzi gives lemons to poets who don't rhyme. He also takes "The Inlander" staff to task for being far too "esoteric" in their choices for the Top 10 CDs of 2004. It's unbelievable. Here's a couple of choice lines:

“Having not heard a single selection from any of the CDs selected, it’s scary how insignificant music has become.”

“Either music today no longer speaks to a generation, or these particular critics are trying to see how esoteric they can be.”

Fallacy and ignorance galore. But this one about non-rhyming poets really makes me want to kill him:

"Art is most captivating when working within certain established constraints. Without rhyme, poetry is merely an essay and largely unsatisfying."

FUCKING. HELL. He ends by saying:

"The art form does live on, however, in the form of the wildly successful genre of rap music which RHYMES."

ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Honestly, I 've never heard anything so idiotic and embarrassingly old fogey in my entire life. Apparently, everything for this bozo (including his tastes) stopped evolving when he was 14.

Please barrage this dipshit with letters. His email is: editor@spokanecda.com.

Thank you.
