Letter to the Editor
Reviewer's job to evaluate without trying to please fans

All of these letters from people complaining about the Nickelback concert review should realize this -- just because you liked it doesn't mean everyone else has to.

A review is basically just an opinion piece, which means the reviewer doesn't have to care what everyone else thinks. So cool it with the "outrage." Even if the majority of the people there liked the show, that doesn't mean it was good. Hell, it's not like bad taste in music doesn't exist.

It couldn't possibly be that Nickelback actually put on a boring show, right?

No way. I mean, who in their right mind could possibly dislike the geniuses who created musical masterpieces like "Hero" and "Someday?"

People are going to disagree with you sometimes in life. If you can't deal with that, perhaps you ought to shut your mouth.
