It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Kosman, the Chronicle and The Mercury

I get the Chronicle only on Sundays - unfortunately, it has never been a truly serious newspaper - one has always had to look very hard to find any real reporting in the Chron. The San Jose Mercury has always done a much better job of in-depth coverage, although each issue of the Mercury seems smaller than the last.

But - I don't know why you call Kosman an idiot, actually. Given that I am not a subscriber, maybe I haven't had the exposure to him that you have had, but I have found by and large that his reviews of performances that I have attended seem to be very accurate, by and large. The Mercury used to send Richard Scheinen to review concerts, and in my book he had a very low accuracy rating, based on concerts that I attended where he wrote reviews. Fortunately, he is no longing writing classical music reviews.
