It's something that pigeons like enough to make noises about, like pizza crusts or walking.

There's and old term, bill and coo

if you bill and coo with someone you love, you talk quietly to them and kiss them
Usage notes: If birds bill and coo, they touch beaks and make noises to each other.
(often in continuous tenses) I don't know why they bother to come out if they're going to spend all their time billing and cooing.

You know Diva I wondered if that was what was meant "Worthy of cooing about." But if so, it's a made-up word.

Sounds better that poop-worthy

That article is chockablock with words used in most unusual ways (by which I mean wrongly). He refers to "crying" as "Ubiquitous" which made me bust out the line from Princess Bride: I do not think it means what you think it means.

I kind of feel the urge to preemptively tell him that "penultimate" doesn't mean "super ultimate."

Early on I gave him free and felicitous feedback about an absolute addiction to alliteration copiously and constantly conveyed in his compositions. I said it was silly and sophomoric and said he should stop but it was nix, nada, nothing doing, Namo.

I didn't even realize it was from my favorite "reporter." Wow.

It's overwritten and filled with incorrectly used words for sure, but shouldn't someone be looking at these things before they are published?

I'm sorry to say that even the people who are supposed to edit those things don't know correct grammar either.

Posted: 9/14/13 at 6:00pm

Yes, but...pointless also. WHY is there a vague, retrospective-like essay about k d lang? Because it has been announced in several months she will be in a show? Did he have an old lang piece he failed to sell laying around?

At least run it when she makes her debut. wait, no just don't run it at all.

I like to give credit where it's due. He conducts his interviews well-versed in the work of his interview subjects. He asks them decent questions and follows up on the answers. I recall one person who did interviews here a century ago who used to not know anything about the subjects and mostly wanted to know if they knew other performers and what shows they liked. All writers need to be edited, PC is sometimes better edited than others. There are two undeniable truths when I read his pieces: 1) He's certainly enthusiastic and 2) he's nowhere near as insufferable as he was when he posted here as pgenre.

He is enthusiastic. That much I agree with.
