Strike The Pose
In the September Atlantic Monthly, in an article on Ray Charles, Mark Steyn makes this comment about "crossover" music: "Even if the stuff doesn't make you vomit, a guy who does everything comes across like an opportunist (Ray Charles, old buddy Quincy Jones) or a poseur (Elvis Costello, who, after avant-garde string quartets and Burt Bacharach, now seems to be doing to the career of his wife, Diana Krall, what he did to his own)."
