Lou Reed’s thoughts on Christgau:
“What does Robert Christgau do in bed? I mean, is he a toe fucker? Man, anal retentive, [i]A Consumer's Guide to Rock[/i], what a moron: 'A Study' by, y'know, Robert Christgau. Nice little boxes: B-PLUS. Can you imagine working for a fucking year, and you get a B+ from some asshole in [i]The Village Voice[/i]?"

Of the album this appears on, Robert Christgau sez: "A waste. Vocalist Parker, an underrated blues pro, and organist McGriff, who has a name as a soloist but is better off accompanying, should produce a more than passable record almost automatically. But not when they're burdened with strings, insipid soprano choruses, and hopelessly inappropriate material."

Christgau has always been a hack. He was damn lucky to keep his job after his "why couldn't it have been McCartney" comment following Lennon's death.

Here's a favorite: pre-Jeff Lynne The Move on the BBC.

I do love that Move tune. And give it up for the sound effects guy!
