Ep.50 - The Last Music Critic
Carl Wilson changed the way music is discussed.\xa0His\xa0"poptimist" manifesto, Let's Talk About Love, made it okay to talk seriously about\xa0bubbly\xa0pop, and\xa0went pop itself- that\xa0rare work\xa0of criticism that becomes\xa0a bestseller. He rose to a top\xa0job in his field, senior critic at SPIN.\xa0But he almost instantly lost that job. He explains why, and talks about the rapid decline of music criticism itself.\xa0
