mediageeklife: Metal v. Punk In the Battle to the Death

Metal v. Punk In the Battle to the Death

The New York Times asks this question: why is the death of two rock stars, just one day apart, considered so differently? The Ramones' Dee Dee Ramone died June 5 of this year with recognition while Ratt's Robbin Crosby died June 6 with little notice.

Let me admit that I have a few Ratt albums, and have really enjoyed them, too, though I wouldn't call myself a "fan." I think I first heard Ratt before I heard the Ramones -- probably around 1984 when I was 13 "Round and Round" was an MTV. I don't think I heard the Ramones--or at least recognized the Ramones--until at least a year later. I bought my last Ratt album in 1990, "Detonator." Though I don't think I've listened to it in at least 6 years, I remember it as a damn good album, and also the last Ratt album that I could give a shit about (two more followed).

It's easy to forget that in the mid to late 80s pop/cheese/hair metal was metal, and that much of it was pretty hard and pretty good. It seems that Poison and Warrant ruined the image and memory of it all. That isn't to say that it all was very good. But, then again, not all of 80s punk was very good, either. Each genre had its fair share of party amthems and stupid songs about getting laid. At its worst, hair metal was just more crass and commercial.

I think the article's writer, Chuck Klosterman, sums it up accurately with his final paragraph:

Now, I know what you're thinking; you're thinking I'm overlooking the obvious, which is that the Ramones made ''good music'' and Ratt made ''bad music,'' and that's the real explanation as to why we care about Dee Dee's passing while disregarding Robbin's. And that rebuttal makes sense, I suppose, if you're the kind of person who honestly believes the concept of ''good taste'' is anything more than a subjective device used to create gaps in the intellectual class structure. I would argue that Crosby's death was actually a more significant metaphor than Ramone's, because Crosby was the first major hair-metal artist from the Reagan years to die from AIDS. The genre spent a decade consciously glamorizing (and aggressively experiencing) faceless sex and copious drug use. It will be interesting to see whether the hesher casualties now start piling up. Meanwhile, I don't know if Ramone's death was a metaphor for anything; he's just a good guy who died on his couch from shooting junk. But as long as you have the right friends, your funeral will always matter a whole lot more.

In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Mississippi has
shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. Therefore ... in the
Old Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward of one million
three hundred thousand miles long ... seven hundred and forty-two years
from now the Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long.
... There is something fascinating about science. One gets such
wholesome returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of
fact.

I don't know what you mean by `glory,' Alice said
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. Of course you don't --
till I tell you. I meant `there's a nice knock-down argument for
you!'
But glory doesn't mean `a nice knock-down argument,' Alice
objected.
When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful
tone, it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor
less.
The question is, said Alice, whether you can make words mean
so many different things.
The question is, said Humpty Dumpty, which is to be master--
that's all.
-- Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass

The eye is a menace to clear sight, the ear is a menace to subtle hearing,
the mind is a menace to wisdom, every organ of the senses is a menace to its
own capacity. ... Fuss, the god of the Southern Ocean, and Fret, the god
of the Northern Ocean, happened once to meet in the realm of Chaos, the god
of the center. Chaos treated them very handsomely and they discussed together
what they could do to repay his kindness. They had noticed that, whereas
everyone else had seven apertures, for sight, hearing, eating, breathing and
so on, Chaos had none. So they decided to make the experiment of boring holes
in him. Every day they bored a hole, and on the seventh day, Chaos died.

It took 300 years to build and by the time it was 10% built,
everyone knew it would be a total disaster. But by then the investment
was so big they felt compelled to go on. Since its completion, it has
cost a fortune to maintain and is still in danger of collapsing.
There are at present no plans to replace it, since it was never
really needed in the first place.
I expect every installation has its own pet software which is
analogous to the above.

-- Rudyard Kipling
cialis cheap cialis online It took 300 years to build and by the time it was 10% built,
everyone knew it would be a total disaster. But by then the investment
was so big they felt compelled to go on. Since its completion, it has
cost a fortune to maintain and is still in danger of collapsing.
There are at present no plans to replace it, since it was never
really needed in the first place.
I expect every installation has its own pet software which is
analogous to the above.
-- K.E. Iverson, on the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
order cialis buy cialis online cheap cialisIt cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind starts and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.: Lexapro
