Doug Elfman Is Leaving Las Vegas

Oh, tell me it isn’t so.  Our favorite music critic and video game reviewer is leaving us, for Chicago of all places.  I just don’t think his pretty eyes will sparkle as brightly in the Windy City.  Sure, sure, it’s probably a great opportunity for him, but what about us?  How can we enjoy concerts here when they’re not followed by Doug’s entertaining reviews?  Who will fawn over Liz Phair when she comes to Vegas?  Will Doug ever get to see Charlotte Martin and love her like he loves Liz?  I look forward to every single review of Doug’s, whether it’s about concerts or video games (which I generally don’t even play), so now I’m going to have to look for them on the Sun-Times website.  I don’t know, I just don’t think it’ll be the same. (updated:  it won’t be the same, he’s going to be a tv critic - Doug, b-l-o-g, please)

And you know what really makes me mad?  All those fans of “assclown” Toby Keith are going to be writing letters to the Review-Journal crowing about Doug leaving.  He was one of the only redeeming qualities of the R-J.  Maybe if I beg, he’ll start a blog.  Just for me.  Okay, and for Leigh-Ann too.

Goodbye and good luck, Doug.  The music lovers in Las Vegas will miss you…

  1. Great...now I know where this dope came from.  The Sun-Times could not have possibly found someone worse to replace the great Phil Rosenthal with than this sub-moronic hack.

    Las Vegas deserves this...let’s send him back.

  2. Lemme guess, you’re a Toby Keith fan?

  3. Whose column is Brett reading? Doug Elfman was too good for Vegas (sorry, but it’s true). Hack is such an easy word to use, much more difficult to justify.
