While this is all technically subjective, everybody knows that compared to Neil Young, Stephen Still’s contributions to popular music amount to something tantamount to a footnote. This is pretty much a fact. Everybody knows this.
I couldn’t imagine any actual musician or musicologist worth their salt responding to this statement, “(compared to Neil Young), Stephen Stills isn’t much more than a footnote” with this statement:
“I have rarely heard a more ignorant comment.”
Unless they were joking, being sarcastic, of course.
On multiple levels, that is such a (unintentionally) hilarious response to a totally innocuous statement (that is really more or less a fact).
