— Robert Christgau, in a comment on his Expert Witness blog at MSN.com. He was responding to Ryan Maffei’s remark that “the only truly objectionable part of Knocked Up… is when Seth Rogen says that Steely Dan can gargle his balls.” I suppose this could be considered objectionable except for the fact that Donald and Walter likely spit scotch and soda out of each of their respective nostrils when they heard Rogen’s line. An honor.
Bradley Sroka is a musicology PhD student at USC. He is writing his dissertation on music critic Robert Christgau.

"Seth Rogen is a great American artist. He can think whatever he wants about Steely Dan far as I’m concerned."
