| Description: | In the 12th Century, the Catholic Church declared a holy crusade to be fought against heretical sects which didn't recognize the supreme power of the pope. When absolute destruction of these blasphemers couldn't be achieved through murder and torture, more insidious means were devised. Monkish orders which emulated the philosophies and postures of the heretics were created by Rome and sent out through the Christian world, so as to trick the pious into believing that Rome was with them in their Christ-like poverty. Thus, the dominican and Franciscan orders were formed; impostors, charlatans, poseurs, frauds. The Catholic church was saved from abandonment by the faithful through such infiltrating tactics. . .
The situation with underground rock n roll couldn't be more analogous. Fraudulent vermin animated by the doctors at Bile Inc. infest the stages, the labels, the clubs we attend and even the beds in which we reside. The inability to discern them from our comrades becomes more acute as the scientists devise cleverer and cleverer ways to disguise them. Meanwhile, desertion rates are climbing as the most stalwart soldiers are seduced by the promise of validity and respectability. The Rock N Roll industry perfected cloning long before the sheep in england or any other farm animal nonsense. It's ability to replicate and co-opt each and every threatening phenomena has demolished all attempts to rally against it's cultural stranglehold on the world; the one which has been so successful in hypnotizing the collective global villa to march to it's neo-fascist rhythm.
The one thing they haven't been able to replicate is a woman from Boston called Mary Timony. Maybe because her music defies Rock N Roll convention in such an unusual and unexpected way, sidestepping blues tropes and usualities in a manner that's not self conscious or contrived but genuinely idiosyncratic; completely natural. |
