[78-L] well, no one's ever mourned a critic

[Philip Carli]

You have to do something else rather just criticism to be mourned, I think.  If Shaw had remained only a music critic, he would not only be unmourned, but rightfully reviled.  He was mostly malicious rather than constructive. PC

Brooks Atkinson has a theatre named after him but I don't think that counts.
When Joe McClellan of the Washington Post died, a memorial concert was
organized and it seems that nearly every musician in the Washington area
performed. I was not one of the lucky ones who was able to attend.
As to no statues, I'm sure there must be one of George Bernard Shaw,
but not because he was a critic.
