Heads-Up

[Note: This post has been updated (1) as of 8:33 AM Eastern on 15 Jan. See below.]

Undoubtedly due the huge (and justified) success of his book, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, Alex Ross, long passed over by the show’s producers, will at last be interviewed tonight on PBS’s The Charlie Rose Show.

Be there or be square!

Update (8:33 AM Eastern on 15 Jan): Might we also suggest to Alex that in addition to taking to heart The Standing Room’s excellent suggestion to “please, please bitchslap him when he tries to talk over you,” that before answering any of Mr. Rose’s epic-length questions, he first pause a beat or two to make certain Mr. Rose's mini-disquisition-posing-as-a-question is done, then, in a benign tone of voice, innocently reply, “I'm sorry, is there a question buried somewhere in all that?”

Just a suggestion.
