I feel this way about "folkwads", too. I read TomatoNation pretty frequently, 'cause she writes about living in NYC, and having cats and loving baseball... her advice column on there is just gravy, really.

...but damn, this is good stuff:

"It's an immature, obsessive jerkweed who writes reams of crappy free verse about the time years ago when his dad made him look at a dead bird and he shuddered in the wind of death and the cloudy sky and the leaves on the ground alone so alone we're all strangers to ourselves blah blah blah, like, give me a fucking break, Walt Nitwhitman, because if you were really that tragic, you'd have a telethon already.

"I have zero patience for these babies with chest hair who interpret Feeling Things Oh So Deeply And Also In Rhyme as a license to behave inconsiderately and misspell the word "abyss," and you shouldn't have any either. You can, should, and will do better than Drew, so tell that folkwad to get bent."

Aw, yeah. Posted by ryan at November 23, 2002 04:20 PM
