Me vs. The No Depression Poll

The No Depression critics poll dropped. I contributed since I write for them on occasion…but I managed to be so off-center with my choices that literally none of them made it on the list!

So in rage and spite I thought I’d include my choices for the poll here. Take that, other No Depression critics!
