His ideas for men are banal, uninteresting and worst of all irrelevant. All those people who fight for his legitimacy are shameless roadies and toadies to his empire of smoke. I don’t buy it and wouldn’t accept a gold lame t-shirt from that collection if it were a gift including a gift certificate.” (New York Times via JC Report)
