The Visceral Extends Its Domain: The Rules Of The Game Continues

[koganbot]

Here's the first ever Rules Of The Game Followup Column. Contains metal and morality, romance and longing. Quotes Martin. You're encouraged to comment here, there, everywhere.

EDIT, JUNE 8: Strangely, the link I'd posted in the previous paragraph didn't work after a few days, so I had to track down where the piece was and fix the link.

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

Re: WHY DO PEOPLE SAY THESE THINGS

i would think k-punk would be an excellent example of the kind of music writer who could stand a good course of treatment. he clearly believes music to be important beyond itself, but he's got a theory, or a bunch of theories, that cause him to talk in terms of the theories rather than in terms of what people are actually doing. (we would say; he could well say that he IS paying attention to what people are actually doing, as his theories would indicate!)
