It rubs me the wrong way too. Hipsters are the downfall of society...
Clearly the reporter didn't even research SW solo and knew nothing about him, his work, or his history (other than his sobriety issues and that he had an Xmas CD - which takes a 10 second google search to learn).
They did bill the show as "20 Years of Greatest Hits" but greatest hits is pretty subjective and well Scott & STP have atleast 10 years of not committing to a tour title.
This person was clearly looking for STP radio hits the whole night. Scott has been active enough as a solo artist since HIG came out that you would think this mistake wouldn't be made quite as often.
The worst is that they project their expectation as the whole audience's expectation. I was in the same room and most folks around me were well aware of the deeper tracks being played and responded well to the set and any bits of jamming.
It's obvious this was a person who was asked to cover a show and had no desire to be there.
