Well, as Ian Anderson himself says in the review guidelnes for the "and the rest" section: "Readers expect savage wit". Well he knows his readership, that's his decision. I am part of that readership, and I dont always relish "savage wit" at the expense of those less fortunate than ourselves. Use it at the expense of the ruling clases, the immnsely succesful folk artists, even the editors of poerful(?) masgazines; whatever. But not at the expense of the musically challenged, that is just cheap fish/barrel shooting.
