When did Greg Kot start working for Entertainment Weekly? And if he's leaving the Tribune for EW, it sucks that he has to limit his reviews and articles and words to more mainstream, commercial stuff and kind of steer clear of what we all know he prefers. He currently has the review of Faith Hill's new CD in EW. I don't know which print edition it is in, last week's or next week's, but it's online now.
Can he work for both media companies, Tribune Media Services and AOL Time Warner? Isn't there an inherent conflict of interest? I did a news search on Google News of Kot's name and an article in the Trib came up but it was dated last week, so maybe he left Chicago to go national? But then I saw that the same article in the Trib was picked up and printed in a San Diego paper. So he technically already was national.
This is not a good development for the Tribune if true. But maybe he just needed to shake things up a little bit. Or maybe it was about money. Or maybe he got into a nasty fight with an editor or the publisher and some harsh evil words were had. Hmmmmmmm.

I wouldn't worry. He writes for Rolling Stone on occasion...he must have some flexibility in his contract(s).

Sometimes when I read your blog I just want to get a tattoo of Che Guevara and a hammer and sickle on my back and go around assassinating businessmen with an axe just to combat your right wingedness.
This is not one of those times.
Will, I laughed at your comment for five minutes. Brilliant!
Jeff (as in the propietor of this site).
