After reading this writer's ignorant, mean-spirited, and artless review of the exquisite Townes Van Zandt biopic "Be Here to Love Me", I am amazed that anyone in the world- with the possible exception of his family and friends- would care what he has to say in a review.
By the way, Mr. DiGiovanna: Robert Plant, who used to play with Jimmy Page - in case you did not know- covered Townes Van Zandt, the "mediocre talent" as you put it, on the Grammy winning "Raising Sand" with a remarkable version of "Nothin'".
I get that, occasionally, you are asked to review something in an area that is either foreign or not in your area of taste, and I would hate to be put in that situation. But you would be the bigger person to rise above it and try to understand WHY people are drawn to the subject rather than just cut it down out of ignorance. You are the one given the priveledge to express your views as a "critic". You should use it responsibly.
