RE: Review of Craig's Friday Night Live

[winston weilheimer <taxrelief...>]

Did not mean to open a can of worms, only to reassure that there were some
of us that did enjoy the cd.  of course a critic should give his opinion.
if he hated the cd, thats fine, but there is another side and i just wanted
to express my enjoyment of the cd.  sometimes people read articles of a
critic and won't go see a movie, or buy a cd because of the review.  however
others who have seen the movie or heard the cd, should also be free to voice
their opinions.

Whether or not one appreciates Craig's work (and he has a fine following),
let's avoid "taking sides" in matters of personal taste (or implying that
majority approval of any artistic work proves its worth--because if so, then
the opposite is implied.)  No one is right for appreciating one type of
music
or wrong for finding flaws.  Besides which I am a little perturbed at the
idea that there's something wrong when a critic does his job and critiques
instead of giving blanket approval to a performance.

Go ahead, pan my recording!
