Making Me Sad

I am already way over Dave Eggers, and have been for some time now. But I'm still holding on to Nick Hornby and I just don't want to let go. Unfortunately, reading this article about the famous-writer-as-rock-critic pushes me one step closer to admitting that the Nick Hornby of High Fidelity and About a Boy is not the same Nick Hornby of Songbook. Or, it is the same guy, but distinctly McSweenified.
