I come not to praise Ira Glass, certainly—I think he is a philistine—but also not totally to bury him. For there is always something admirable in speaking with complete honesty about one’s aesthetic reactions, even when those reactions are plainly wrong. Shakespeare lovers: How do you respond to people who dont share your fandom? Shakespeare non-enthusiasts: What kind of reactions do you get when you confess there is no love lost between you and the man from Stratford?
