This is me

Bob Lefsetz, the writer of the infamous Lefsetz Letter, is always causing trouble.  He gets so ridiculous sometimes that I completely ignore his emails for whole weeks at a time.  To give you an idea of what he’s like, check out this video of him battling Gene Simmons from Kiss.

This is Bob

So today I see an emailed entitled:  From Lily Allen.  I thought to myself, “this has got to be good.”

…and it was.  Her last sentence sums it up (note:  there are obvious grammar and spelling mistakes):  “you’re piece yesterday was mildly interesting, todays is insulting and I’ll be consulting my lawyers on the matter.”

Bob’s beauty lies in his ability to piss people off and insult them, which de facto causes everyone to question the standards and practices of the music business.  He usually doesn’t offer solutions, but that’s for the loyal readers to figure out.  I realize that now.  So keep it up Bob because there’s plenty of truth out there that I need to uncover from your smoke signals.
