Rock music actually stands a much stronger political analysis as a coded form of support for the latterday Right than English classical music does as something similar for the older Right.Robin Carmodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825645880870474801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912742963368399051.post-41761361865756424442009-11-06T10:03:34.910-08:002009-11-06T10:03:34.910-08:00Many thanks.

You can't read it without thinking. I hope that's the case with everything I write. Too many people around me - in person, not on the net thankfully - seem to think that any mention of Nazism equates to a moral comparison with the evils of Nazism itself. It doesn't - anyone who isn't governed by Sunthink (which is hypocritical anyway in this context) knows that things are much more subtle and layered than that.Robin Carmodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825645880870474801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912742963368399051.post-21815108422526123182009-11-06T08:41:37.466-08:002009-11-06T08:41:37.466-08:00Tremendous post :)Tremendous post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
