One note about a “One-note” Samsa:
First one should, needs to, consult,
for, ex ample… “David
Yaffe, a professor of Humanities at Syracuse…” (for a plain and easy explanation of meta…)morph(osis):
“they were not a fusion band. Their
songs were as driven by their often obscure narratives as they were by their
chord progressions, which looked like charts for Art Blakey. They didn’t fuse,
they morphed,”
“He was a whiny Jew who wished for
soul and got irony.”
“He shares a homophone with Dickens’
Fagin, who is perhaps the most extravagant act of literary anti-Semitism since
Shylock.”
“an adventure with vocabulary foreign
to rock ears, yet...”
“he seems so contemptuous at his need
to communicate to the outside world, he swallows his vowels and grunts in an
almost encrypted argot that only...a devoted fan...would take the trouble to
decipher.”
[For
“fan,” read “propeller-head” (p-head: “probably
[a] reference to a beanie hat with a propeller on top, popularized by science
fiction [and encryption] enthusiasts”).]
A Sheep with Six Legs.
The tyrannicides:
Ari and Harmody
The Two Realms:
Easter vs.
Wester...
Massachusetts.
Ioniacs and their enemy.
The
Eoplatonist in Chief.
Erga-no-mix.
Miss Cege-Nation vs. Belleza indigene:
You can?
The wisdom of accounting for everything via "the market."
A Six with Sheep Legs.
The Spiros of reticence...
...mainly for the benefit of un-Americans
Sixes and Sevens.
And...
A
Geep, not a Jeep... it's the hybrid (Why not a
Shoat?)
The marriage of Heaven and
Hell.
