POND OF DEATH

July 23, 2004 by Tim Riley

Is it me? Feels like I’ve taken crazy pills: “…hedonism, as expressed by rock, is playing center stage in our culture. But being ‘out front’ doesn’t have to mean ‘better than the rest.’ More influential? Sure. More perfect? No.'” I tried very hard to make the case that rock figures symbolized something far more than hedonism, something richer, more poetic, far better. And there’s more than a touch of cynicism to my approach.
