Chuck Klosterman is an author and music critic, and possibly is more similar to myself than any person in the public eye. For a long time I didn't know how I felt about his writing, as at first I could not differentiate him from the other hipster wannabes at places like Spin magazine. I read "Killing Yourself to Live" and I still had mixed feelings, but now I get him. It is not that I always agree with his opinions, it is that I can see where he is coming from even when we disagree. We agree on alot of things (80's metal, GNR) and disagree on others (Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac), but the bottom line is that he is in love with music in the same way that I am in love with music.
Klosterman recently wrote an excellent review in The Onion (essential reading anyway) of the new Guns N Roses album, Chinese Democracy. I know I have been spending alot of time thinking about GNR lately, but this review is really superb and says much of what I think. Give it a read, it is quite good.
