Does anyone else think that Robert Christgau is the most pretentious and obnoxious media critic in the United States? He constantly (and rudely) accuses all artists whose music doesn’t meet his criteria of being horrible and non-genuine. He seems friendly enough in person, but his comment musing about how Paul McCartney should’ve been murdered instead of John was just beyond despicable.

EDIT: After some further reading, it was his wife that made the McCartney comment, and Christgau co-opted it for his article.
