    My God, Snyder, you're worse than my own children.

    All that solemn scholarship, the kind of thing that used
    to concern itself with the dating of Haydn quartets,
    deployed now in the service of the most successful con
    trick every played on credulous children - persuading
    them their arse-achingly banal expressions in the form
    of 'rock' (punk or otherwise) is something other than
    pre-homogenised pap for baby mouths.

    I take it back, Cec. Things are NOT just much the same.
    In obedience to the law of entropy, they're all gradually
    winding down. It's all getting a little less adventurous,
    a little less moving, a little less durable, a little blander,
    a little less genuine.

    In 1601, they fought to get into the Globe theatre.
    In 2001, whiny ole Dylan is their 'great poet.'

    Scottie B.
