[livejournal.com profile] freakytigger continues the discussion regarding origins of rockwrite, links* Issue 4 of The New Vulgate containing David Lightbourne's "Little Sandy Review And The Origins Of Rock Criticism." This is what I wrote on [livejournal.com profile] freakytigger's comment thread (bear in mind that I've never seen an issue of the Little Sandy Review):

A boyish smile and a hard-core hostility )

(I might argue that chronologically Ring Lardner and Otis Ferguson are the first rock critics, but they're not part of the stream that feeds into Dylan (unless I'm wrong and they are), and Dylan streamed into me before I discovered Sarris and the Ferguson stream. Of course, Mark Twain is relevant here, as I think [livejournal.com profile] dubdobdee has said.)

*AK in Cle had already tried to link it for me, but for some reason his link didn't get me to the Lightbourne piece.
