Future Mythologies
A Textual Journey with Maxwell Von BismarckFriday, October 17, 2003
It seems like the word on the street in the blogosphere is "prog" all the way. I'm not sure how much this fascination with King Crimson and Yes will go, but it seems a bit overhyped. Yes it's clear that Discovery was an amazing piece of work and will influence me a ton, but most of Simon's interest seems to spring from Kwodo's supposed interest. Now I really do believe that KE listens to Yes and America and Mannfred Mann's Earth Band all the time, but if he loves them so bloody much and he wants to be so unapologetic about it, why don't we see any of the big prog bands in his book More Brilliant Than the Sun. These guys obviously aren't the same as the future-engineers that Kwodo loves so much, and it sounds to me like it's just another trend in "good bad" taste. Or is it "bad good" taste?
