Stuart Munro and I have long had a running debate (which he's kept me
up-to-date on, sending me this article a day before it was posted here) on
which Boston Globe critic is doofier, Morse or Sullivan. A couple of
Sullivan's recent malpropisms have been pretty entertaining, I have to
admit. But ever since Morse wrote for Pop Top, a local monthly rag in the
mid-'70s (where he reviewed country almost exclusively), my attitude
toward him has been "If he can get it wrong, he will." At best, his
blinders can be pretty huge.

Oh yeah: However much the Globe has declined, it's still far, far better
than any media outlet in Chicago.
