High Schooler Technique
RECEIVED Thu., Nov. 9, 2006
Dear Editor,
I don't know if the Lord Henry slept with Austin Powell's mom, or if he applies a post-hipster litmus test to everything he hears, but I suspect he wouldn't have been happy unless he'd liked them first [“Texas Platters,” Music, Nov. 3]. Failing that, it only follows that he's going to preserve his cred by being over them first. It's a technique well known to high schoolers across the land, and good job for bringing it to the literate masses! I do hope he washed his feet before stomping on his sour grapes, though – otherwise he may have contaminated some perfectly good whine.
