What? Did she hear one of her perpetually scowling, pseudo hip, pseudo hip-hop fans/friends describe Jay-Z as cheesy? Jay-Z is the premier artist of the form.

AMERICAN PIE
Re Jerry Saltz's article on the Guggenheim's Norman Rockwell retrospective ["Middle Americana," November 20]: A year ago I was temping at a real estate agency in Park Slope ("Not 'Brooklyn'—this is Park Slope," corrected my boss for the day), and the computer I was staring at had a rotating Rockwell screensaver. That's when I was reminded of how creepy and pedophiliac his work is.
