Honest Review? Tom Breihan says up front he hates the song with an unreasonable passion? That’s as bias as it gets.
ReplyDeleteHonest review my ass. Written by a typical millennial.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a review of "We Didn't Start the Fire", that was one person doing the biggest hatchet job on something since Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks.
ReplyDeleteLet's face it, when he starts out the third paragraph by flatly stating that he hates the song, and the rest of the paragraph is over-the-top metaphors for just HOW mucch he hates it, he surrenders all claims to credibility as a 'journalist' and becomes just one more keyboard-pounder telling us over and over again why HE didn't like it.
Is it Billy Joel's best? No. Has he written better songs? Yes. But you can say that about just about every performer/artist/songwriter/band in history. And what does the fact that he's played Madison Square Garden so many times have to do with the quality – or lack of it – in "We Didn't Start The Fire"?
Personally, I think this guy just plain doesn't like Billy Joel, period.
