That creeping disease of "ironic" logorrhea called Kinsleyism has hit
John and
Jody very hard. One can make a plain, forceful statement about rock or rap in 200 words, if one wished, but neither John and Jody wish, nor could they wish, being a "writer and musician" and a "music critic", except to wish for a fatter paycheck from WaPost; so we get a combined
3,830 heavily ironic words whose mere number demoralizes a reader; when one must slog so many words to get the point the reader can be sure there is no point. Alas, there is a point: to provide filler for the ads.
