like young

just read francis davis' like young -- my new fave writer about music. at least, the one i agree with the most, and the 2001 pub date of this means it covers up to the ken burns doc. what caught my eye was the subtitle: jazz, pop, youth, and middle age. as someone who's mos def on the wrong side of that big generational divide (48 next year), it's interesting for me to observe that i no longer want to be lester bangs...but realize that one could do a hell of a lot worse than being francis davis. and he's married to terry gross.
