Some of us get a kick out of reading the Austin-American Statesman for its biased story-structuring and deceptive, slanted headlines, while others cite such inducements as "Best Bets," the allergy count, the "Newsmakers" gossip column, the horoscopes and "Outland" every Sunday as the daily's prime features. But if it's first-class newspaper journalism you want, try Don McLeese every Tuesday and Thursday. One of the best daily paper rock critics in the country, McLeese is articulate, passionate and always entertaining - a tough balance to achieve for sure. His enthusiasm for music, especially Austin music, is obvious and contagious, and this city and its daily (especially) are the better for it.
