No. But this Guardian article certainly does: http://music.guardian.co.uk/vinylword/story/0,,2280663,00.html
Just to take one paragraph to illustrate the article's idiocies:
Bob Dylan's surprise 1969 hit, the beloved, atypically mawkish ballad Lay Lady Lay was recorded in February of that year, just a few weeks after Richard Milhous Nixon was sworn in as president of the United States. Only a fool would believe that the two events are unconnected.
Ok, I suppose that last sentence is tongue in cheek, but describing "Lay, Lady, Lay" as mawkish is lazy writing.
And the last sentence of the article is cowardly, hedge-your-bets, non-committal writing:
"One can even say without fear of contradiction that some felt that the album flat-out sucked."
But what do you think of it, Mr Guardian Writer?
