what, a man ain't allowed to have a pet owl?

>Many possible allegorical meanings can be found in Kafka's novels, especially this one. Josef keeps protesting and believing that he is innocent, but everybody around him seems to believe the opposite. He refuses to recognize what everybody sees in him: that he is guilty. His arrest looks like a discontinuity in his tedious ordinary life but it is not a mistake: it is the logical consequence of his accumulated guilt. His guilt transpires from his arrogance, his ignorance, his sense of self-importance. Even protesting his innocence without knowing what the accusation is constitutes an act of arrogance, as if he were so perfect that nobody is entitled to doubt him. He mocks the court's ways and methods, and insults the officers, believing that his rational perfection will prevail over the irrational imperfection of the court. However, the court is playing a cruel game of cat and mouse, and Josef keeps making mistakes in this game that make his situation worse and worse. Josef's intelligence is insufficient to understand the game and to avoid moves that worsen his situation: after all, the court might simply be a superior form of rationality, unattainable by Josef, irrational for his low level of rationality, a sort of singularity, or a Buddhist-like superior level of existence. The court humiliates him by having him interrogated, judged and finally executed by low-level echelons.

This has to be one of the worst interpretations I've ever heard

His music rankings are pretty legit in that they'll help you find a lot of excellent music that you would've otherwise likely never found and contrary to popular belief he isn't actually much a contrarian (has The Doors and Velvet Underground in his top 10). His movie rankings are rather standard and not that different from those of nearly any other critic. I'd say his literary criticism is the funkiest by far.
He gained a lot of notoriety and infamy pretty much just for not thinking The Beatles are the best band ever, he's the person that made the original "the fact that so many books..." Beatles pasta (funnily enough he gave a good rating to like 4 or 5 of their albums, just not that high)

Yeah I'm not a retarded sheep person so I don't listen to critics ever.
