Man, we kinda ream John Roderick this week. On page 25, we claim he
“isn’t good at anything.” Then on page 59, writer Dave Eggers implies
Roderick’s “hygiene level” is less than adequate. Both are lies. The
Stranger has long admired Roderick’s music. And I personally
witnessed Roderick giving his beard a thorough scrubbing. That was back
in 1999, and it happened to be with a brush my roommate and I used to
clean our bathroom, but afterward, his beard was full and lustrous.
