Adlebrained Column of the Day

The National Catholic Register's Tom Hoopes wrote a column in National Review Online about Alanis Morissette that is one step above word salad. Hoopes's reductionistic blather is a good example why the unhip should not touch issues they could not possibly fathom (writing for National Review Online is a good indicator that one is terminally unhip). In fairness, Hoope's pseudo-intellectualization of Alanis and her lyrics was not as bad as the chronicle of a Bruce Springsteen concert done by George Will back in the 1980's. However, by the tone and content of Hoopes's analysis, it is obvious that if he were any more prim, he would be Amish.
