I still miss the rock and roll writings of Eve Zibart. With her departure, and that of her colleague, the legendary Richard Harrington, The Post will be sucking wind for a while.

Matt:
by singling out eve zibart, I surely didn’t mean to slight the legendary Richard Harrington, who reportedly also has taken the Washington Post’s latest buyout.

now that I think about it, I’d bet I’ve read more Richard Harrington stories than any other writer’s ever ever ever. I also think that Richard’s gonna keep writing about rock and roll til he drops, and that I’ll keep seeing him out at shows.

Thanks for your thoughts.

As hundreds of thousands of people know throughout the region and even in journalism nationwide, Eve Zibart is not and has never, ever, been a “hack.” As Dave mentioned, for years she covered rock for the Post in a straightforward, intelligent, entertaining manner. And she’s done great with her similarly straightforward, intelligent and entertaining food pieces for the great Weekend section. We should all give great kudos to Eve and to the great Richard Harrington, who is also retiring from the Post. Richard, point blank, is just one of the best popular music writers in the United States, and his prose will also be missed. Anyone who thinks otherwise about Richard and Eve doesn’t know what the heck they’re talking about.

You must have not read her since then. If you did, you would join the rest of us as seeing her as perhaps the biggest hack at the Post. She won’t be missed.
