Good point. The rant reminded me of how much of a distaste I have for a certain kind of rock criticism that I've ignored the last couple of years.
If he would have bothered to prepare a speech or talk instead of reading a speech, I may have enjoyed it more. I felt like he's impressed with his own cleverness and that he didn't have to bother being truly engaging because the audience will just be bowled over by his wit. Also, that hat really offended me.
I agree here, but to Dale's point, I bet this:

Looking forward to this. He said his plan for the book was to focus heavily if not exclusively on The Bomb Squad's contribution and the production aspect. 140-some pages, which for this series is on the hefty side.

Whiney seems like one of those dudes who I would probably really like in person, but his schtick gets in my craw...of course that describes me as well for a lot of people.
