HuffPo: New Yorker article on McCartney criticized

"...And That's Why You're A Blogger And Not A Writer": New Yorker Writer Gets Touchy In Comments Section Of Blog - Media on The Huffington Post: "WOW. If New Yorker writer John Colapinto really is the 'John' posting in the comments section of this post on the blog 'Restricted View,' then he really does not like it when his work is criticized. For her part, Restricted View blogger Mollie Wilson, a contributor to Village Voice , American Theatre and Nextbook did not like Colapinto's article on Paul McCartney in last week's New Yorker, called 'When I'm Sixty-Four: Paul McCartney And His Music,' or, as she thought he ought to have called it, 'How I spent a week wasting Paul McCartney's time.' Ouch! Wilson felt that, contrary to the title, the article was not at all a look at the man and his music ('There's no real criticism of his music, either then or now, and certainly no attempt is made to synthesize his body of work') and was rather a catalog of fan encounters and the writer's own 'dumb questions' (like, suggesting that a fan could have been 'another Mark David Chapman'). Her takeaway? 'Dull, shapeless and devoid of insight.'"
