Talentless hack meets worthless band
Universe does not contract, though summit yields perhaps the lousiest sentence in the history of music of journalism:
Yes, folks, that's the person in charge of reporting on contemporary music for the Times-Dispatch. She doesn't "know" how popular bands get that way, but she's reasonably certain the band she just got off the phone has as good a shot as anyone else. Provided they send the same shitty CD they sent her for free to everyone else in the country. I'm sure Melissa Ruggieri has a point. In there somewhere.
Who knows what sends a band into the stratosphere, a la Good Charlotte or Linkin Park? That multiplatinum level of success might not be actively courted by [Bowling for Soup], but many of the songs on "Hangover" could surely elevate them to "TRL"-all-the-time level.

It's hard to take the Times-Dispatch serious on anything news-worthy let alone commentary on pop culture.
