Ode to Robert Christgau (Whose 'Pazz and Jop' Consumer Guide Sadly Ends After 41 Years)
Oh, in New York , the Voice you blessed
with weekly columns of records best
For many years I studied hard
the lists and lists on your music card
Oh, to learn which disks my hard earned bucks
should be spent on, as opposed to shmucks!
A few years ago, your books I found
of columns collected about the 'sound'
Oh, of the best records of the seventies all
that you consider best to haul.
Enormous cannot describe
the volume of records in your tribe
Oh, you have listened to more than anyone
so, thanks a ton
For advising me on 'Pazz and Jop.'
