For someone who had little taste for punk Whats this doing here he begins, Marsh puts great thought, openness, and sincerity into fixing and fitting these singles into his R B centered musical universe, and I think its a valuable perspective. What is your response to his Sex Pistols entries Did you ever discuss them with him Randy. I was surprised at how empathetic, specific, and right Daves comments were. But the deepest thing he ever said about punk was his saying that Bruce Springsteens Nebraska had more in common with the Adverts Gary Gilmores Eyes than anything else. My question concerns a piece you wrote on Lana Del Reys album Ultraviolence, where you wrote, Even if the artist starts out thinking she knows exactly what she means to say, the rich text, as I once read, resists not only the reader but the writer as well, and intent vanishes into the swirl of the songs. Are there any particular books or essays that you recommend, perhaps the thing you once read, that are authorities on this relationship between art and its creator I really liked what you wrote about Amy Winehouses Grammy performance along similar lines You could hear her listening to the song as well as singing it, hear the song talking to her, hear her asking herself, as she sang, Is that trueIs that what I want Is that all Ive got I am currently an undergraduate taking a class on Chaucer, and I found your writing really illuminating during a discussion in my class about The Pardoners Tale. I wonder if its something youre familiar with or have thought about. The Pardoner is an abominable man, shamelessly swindling other people out of their money, no matter how poor his victims, by offering BS relics that promise to do ridiculous wonders for people and selling indulgences while he confesses that he does not care if the souls of the buyers go to hell. The complication is that he says, For thogh myself be a ful vicious man,A moral tale yet I yow telle kan, and is truly an enthralling preacher. Its why hes such a successful swindler. In the Tales he tells a moral, surreal horror story of three bawdy men who set out to kill death, who has killed their friend. They get sidetracked by gold coins that they come across and, caught up in greed, they end up killing each other in their desire to have a larger share of the gold. This is the story the Pardoner uses on his victims, and it also completely implicates himself. In fact, the storys power seems to come from the close relation between his own vices and the morality of the story. The fascinating question to me is, Whos the master, the tale or the teller He uses the story to get other peoples money, to fuel his own greed, but at the same time maybe he realizes hes as fucked as the three men in the tale. Anyways, thought you might enjoy this. Eric. It will take some time to dig up the article I quoted on the rich text. Part of my research for Lipstick Traces, and Im not where it is. Re Volt Game Full Version. I dont know of any books or essays on the approach were talking about. I love the Chaucer story. A student I had as a TA at Berkeley in the 1. Betsy Bowden, went on to write one of the first academic books on Bob Dylan, if not the first, Performed Literature, and then became a Chaucer scholar at Rutgers, and wrote books on his work. Youd find her interesting. One of my favourite comparisons of yoursone I found jarring at firstwas when you called the Funky 41s Thats the Joint one of the richest and most exuberant pieces of rock n roll vocal music since Music From Big Pink. In your Mystery Train chapter on the Band you note how voices yelp and wail as one man finishes anothers line or spins it off in a new directionI assume this sort of thing is what you had in mind with that comparison correct me if Im wrong. Im wondering if youve heard good versions of this style from any direction whatsoever since Thats the Joint 1. Scott Woods. There are a lot of cypherfreestyles that are in the same spirit. Not to mention the real progenitors of the style Huey, Dewey, and Louie. I got a kick out of reading that in 1. Please Please Me was by a group called The Beetles I grew up in the 1. I was about ten years old I just assumed the insect was called a beatle. Steve ONeill. Perfect. I loved your comments on Abdurraqibs piece on Kendrick Lamars Alright. I was wondering if you had any further thoughts youd share about KLs album To Pimp a Butterfly. The more Ive listened, the more it feels like the greatest album Ive heard in many years. Joe. Its great. Im not remotely near the bottom. The four artists you chose for the main chapters of Mystery Train were still active at the time of the books publication, but your writing indicates that you were witnessing all of their suns setting. At this time, which if any of the Inheritors were you realistically hoping might produce a surprise comebackwith a moment of reversal like Some Girls or The Belle Album Randy. I knew Randy Newman was anything but finished. Sly I had no hopes fora feeling that unfortunately proved true. The Band I had hopes for, cut with real doubt I knew how bad off Richard Manuel was, and I didnt see the Band without him or any of them. As for Elviswell, so many Elvis fans like me wanted him to make a blues album, maybe with the Rolling Stones. Any reason why not I wish I knew why I didnt include him in the Masked Marauders. But really, as Dave Marsh put it when he died, I thought he would always be there. Isnt it about time you revised your pretentiousand DEEPLY uninsightfulJuly, 1. RSreview of The Whos Live at Leeds You were wrong on SO many levels, with all due respect. David. You apparently want me to hear the album as you do. I dont know how you hear it, so I have no idea what youre objecting to. Want to be specific An unusual I hope Elvis related question Have you seen Edward Yangs film A Brighter Summer Day Its a four hour epic set in early 1. Taipei, during the White Terror. The main characters are high schoolers crazy about American music, and Elvis is present throughout the title is a misheard line from Are You Lonesome Tonight, two of the heros friends cover his hits, and Elvis pops up again in an unforgettable way near the end. The film is a stringent, almost anti nostalgic, drama, which makes its argument about the liberating power of rocknroll doubly effective.
