Kleinzahler is equally opinionated on the subjects of German Romantics, hard bop, and Liberace. The fact that I knew nothing about any of them did not lessen my enjoyment of Kleinzahler\u2019s prose. When Kleinzahler\u2019s writing, I could happily read an essay about riding the bus in San Diego or seeing a stupid movie on Christmas Eve. (In fact I recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cutty-One-Rock-Characters-Explained\/dp\/0374133778\">that book<\/a>, too.) If you are a midcentury jazz guy, I suggest Geoff Dyer\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/But-Beautiful-Book-About-Jazz\/dp\/0312429479\/\">But Beautiful<\/a><\/em>, biographical vignettes that manage (at least for this reader) also to be about\u00a0the music. If you want to read about pop music, check out <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Heavy-Rotation-Twenty-Writers-Changed\/dp\/B0046LUEP0\/\">Heavy Rotation: Twenty Writers on the Albums That Changed Their Lives<\/a><\/em>, with standout essays by Benjamin Kunkel, Sheila Heti, Peter Terzian, and our own John Jeremiah Sullivan.  And if you want to read a deceptively deep little treatise on the whole idea of music criticism\u2014at least when it comes to pop\u2014read Carl Wilson\u2019s contribution to the 33 1\/3 series: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Celine-Dions-Lets-Talk-About\/dp\/082642788X\">Celine Dion\u2019s <em>Let\u2019s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>True story: I know a guy who wrote to CEOs as a kid, proclaiming how strongly he wanted to be a top business executive when he grew older. Years of persistent snail mail, and finally, in his late teens, he caught the attention of a wealthy business tycoon who offered him an internship at his company. Now, in his mid-twenties, this man is the head of university relations at an educational start-up company, working under the same businessman that hired him as a teenager.
