Dear CREEM: Hot on the heels of the Wild Angels Syndrome, we now have been given, by your previously excellent magazine, the new Grand Funk Syndrome (also known as the Kids Are All Right Syndrome). This particular manifestation is restricted to certain jaded rock critics who seem to feel that if the kids (i.e., America’s adolescents) like it, it must be good.
Dear CREEM:
Hot on the heels of the Wild Angels Syndrome, we now have been given, by your previously excellent magazine, the new Grand Funk Syndrome (also known as the Kids Are All Right Syndrome). This particular manifestation is restricted to certain jaded rock critics who seem to feel that if the kids (i.e., America’s adolescents) like it, it must be good. Further symptoms of this malady occur when the critic begins to make all these deep art statements, which serve to further establish the group’s particular talents. Furthermore, the jaded rock critic seems to listen to the kids and whatever weird comments they have to say against him, he accepts without argument.
