Ironically, his blog is title "Mystic Rhythms: We Suspend Our Disbelief and We Are Entertained"

This is a song title and lyric taken without credit from Rush, specifically their Power Windows album. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/108820/

He decries the lack of respect given to developers of creative works, yet here he steals ideas from another creative group and uses it without any attribution whatsoever.

I'd say it detracts from the strength of his argument just a bit.

(Note: hopefully he fixes this in the future, but no attribution as of Oct 14, 2012 10:51am)

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people quote things in that way because they're huge fans and the source is taken for granted in their world. They think everyone knows it and those who don't, should. (I've done this myself and realized later that it looked like plagiarism, which dismayed me because my intention was exactly the opposite, to honor the source by acting like it didn't need to be mentioned.)

Blog titles are also a common place for people to adopt cool quotes that are particularly meaningful to them - it has almost become a little genre - and it would spoil the fun to footnote them. This guy actually has quotation marks around his, so he's more punctilious than most.

The use of an allusion in a title is incredibly common and is not a sign of disrespect. See http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LiteraryAllusionT...
