His writing rarely borders on the pretentious. That's no small feat for a rock journalist, especially one with such an undying fervent believe in the power of great music. If you see him, buy him a margarita. He has many great stories.
I was one of those people meeting you on the streets in NYC back in the early 80's gladly accepting one of your fanzines. Because of that meeting I am a huge fan of Mark Burgess and the Chameleons. I was so disappointed when he and bandmates came to NYC when I was away in the summer, but I was able to catch them in Baltimore. I still own a cassette of your first recording of Springhouse and still prouldly wear the music pin of Springhouse.
Jack is amazing, and The Big Takeover is the best music magazine in the world, plain and simple.
