This Arctic Monkeys thing is getting out of hand. First Monday’s NY Times writes a gushing feature on them complete with a picture on the front of the Arts section. And Tuesday, sitting in a hotel in San Francisco, after the newscaster has dealt with the death of Coretta Scott King, they segue as neatly as they ever segue (i.e. not at all) into coverage of Arctic Monkeys, comparingf them to the Beatles. Do you think they might have meant the Monkees and got confused? S’possible. Granted a CBS local affilate in one city is not a measure of the zeitgeist as a whole, but this is getting a bit silly.
