I’ve always felt that Joe Queenan has gone straight downhill since “If You’re Talking to Me, Your Career Must Be in Trouble,” but, following this link from Fabio Rojas, I see an interesting recent article from Queenan. I didn’t know he did serious stuff too. (Yes, I know that Queenan’s claims are debatable–in particular, I’m not sure where he would put fit Stravinsky’s work (up to the mid-1920s) in his system–but he makes interesting points.) Mainly, I’m just interested to see that he’s writing something closer to his earlier standards.
