Re: “Live review: Identity Festival”
@Jeff Hahne does his job well and for every concert most here go to he goes to about 10x's that. That is what a music critics/photojournalist does! We go to experience things for the first time and write about them with fresh eyes. A professional does NOT write only about one genre and does not limit themselves to one venue as well. Anyone shouting they are a pro due to either of those things needs to just hush.
The only thing I wanted to add here is this..... A critic’s job is not meant to blow smoke, it's to tell opinions. Not everyone is going to like it. Also, to all the "elite", you were not always this way. You had to go to your first EDM show sometime, correct? You liked it, he did not. I think the end of the piece is not just to save his butt but to reiterate what most should know, just not his cup of tea.
It's pretty hysterical to think that EVERY review everywhere is to be a positive one. How in the hell would you feel if where ever you went it was all fake reviews, and one note "This was sooooooooo awesome, yay yay yay!!!!” Or is that what the Charlotte readers want? I do this for a living as well and in no way am I going to say something is amazing if I'm not feeling it.
