Matt,

Good article–except please get a copy of The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual. Unless the person in question is literally chained or strapped to a wheelchair, they are a wheelchair user, not “wheelchair-bound”. “Wheelchair-bound” is derogatory.

Well, I don’t know if he’s comparing himself to Rubin as much as saying, this is our attempt to redefine a legend for a modern audience, like Rubin did with Johnny Cash. Your point is taken, however.

“I think this is like Rick Rubin’s work with Johnny Cash … .”

That’s a pretty bold statement. I don’t exactly see Cornell in the same vein as Rubin. Not sure he could exactly hold his beard brush in terms of creativity and refining stellar talent.
