St. Petersburg Times pop music critic Sean Daly is the only person in town who might have an ego the size of mine, which is saying something, because mine is bigger than a Buick. Since he revealed to everyone that we are friends, a fact I was hoping to keep secret, I guess I better acknowledge that I do like the dude, even though he bums way too many, um, sticks of gum from me (sorry, Sean). Anyway, here's what Daly wrote about me writing about him:
I probably shouldn't like this. But I'm such a vainglorious headcase, I totally dig being talked about like a misunderstood beast roaming the Serengeti. My friend/bad-habit enabler Wade Tatangelo, music critic at Creative Loafing, the alt-weekly in town, debates why daily (and Daly) music critics bother writing about such pap as American Idol.
