For the one publication I write for that uses the star system, you can give as
many stars as you want, but the editor reserves the right to change that.
Editors pretty much get to do whatever they want with your stuff, it seems. I
even had one change my point of view. . .once. But it wasn't on a review.
And it's true the writer has absolutely nothing to do with the headline.
BTW, speaking of absolutely perfectly ideal editors, I just got the new ish of
No Depression. How could we not love an aesthetic that puts Hazel Dickens and
Paul Westerberg in the same magazine. . .let alone Steve Earle and Del McCoury
in the same band!
