"the dean" gets one right

i normally disdain the scribage of robert christgau, the self-styled "dean of american rock critics." however, even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes; to wit, the following description he penned of early '70s brit hitmakers / e.l.o. precursors the move: "no other band better evokes a giant mechanical lizard." pure fucking genius. i almost pissed my pants laughing when i read that, and i'm at work.
