For a number of reasons, I think Mpls.St.Paul A&E editor Tad Simons is fantastic!
If you missed his stellar preview/commentary piece ("Kushner Clash" / May08) on the Guthrie's upcoming 2009 Kushner Celebration, go seek out a back issue. Sadly, MSPmag.com doesn't post everything written for the print edition.
Tad also recently named Shadowlands as one of his Top 5 Fall Arts Picks, noting that this Joe Dowling directed show is "a tear-jerker" and offers a reminder to "bring extra Kleenex."
An accompanying web video is posted at:

So yes, FringeFamous bloggers, the Guthrie loves Tad because he writes great stuff about us. But we also like him because he's a great writer.
