| Sarah Klein's "Loose Lips" Sewn Shut |
|
 In a final tirade to distance herself from the very "scenester" culture she helped create, Metro Times columnist Sarah Klein included a poke at the Detroitmusic.com message board in her last hurrah for the Metro Times "Loose Lips" column. Click "Read More" for some fun.
Although she'll continue at the paper, Klein is apparently not worried about burning the superficial bridges (otherwise known as "contacts" in real journalism) she's built along the way.
" I sure won’t miss the ... pretentious blowhards, insincere sycophantic leeches, and the cutthroat cheerleading-squad drama that is a slice of life in Detroit after dark," Klein wrote.
"I could very well call out each and every one of you by name, but that would be far too detroitmusic.com of me, now wouldn’t it?"
Having perfected her role as part-time clack on the back page of MT, Klein will continue as a "full-time" staffer at the Detroit alt/news weekly, according to the column (ed. - perhaps she's moved up to MT nail-tech?).
