Hey! We Resemble That Remark!:
No, actually this is really very funny. And, for the record, we've only played Radiohead about three times on Altrok Radio...

WRSU's Bill Stella clued me in to this, and I agree: I think this review says less about David Byrne's new album than it does about the reviewer's desire to impose conformity. Taking Byrne to task for cultivating a Mr. Rogers look ignores the fact that he wasn't ever exactly a GQ cover boy, and the final thought in the piece should be evidence enough that Rolling Stone's original guiding philosophies are long dead and buried in an unmarked, forgotten grave.
