Thread Name: In Praise of Chuck Brodsky
Subject: RE: In Praise of Chuck Brodsky
To be fair let me state that he was quite generous in donating his time for that benefit---some 10 years ago now (I believe) and prior to his later "fame".   

My criticism is of his dour persona and his lack of being able to accept criticism---the piece, as said, is the last piece on the new CD---Blow Em Away. Granted, all criticism is subjective. That said, an artist has to be able to accept criticism or, at least, respond in a civil manner.

If anyone has heard the piece mentioned above the question I threw out to the radio audience was----clever satire or just mean spiritedness in a society already, seemingly, road angry (raged?).

On another tangent---think back to Sept. 12, 2001---YES, 9/12/01. Did you notice that for a time there was a silence and a great courtesy in public---in all areas---driving, lining up (queing?) at venues, etc;? Time has moved on---no?
