Listen up, ye who enjoy being stuck in the conflicting duality of supposed opposites: It is all bunk, contrived up by Beelzeebub, him (her)self to drive us into unhappy marriages and bonds of bloody botch. You are assigned to read "WE"; "HE"; and "SHE", 3 books by the iconoclast of gendercrap, Robert Johnson (not to be confused with Mr. Hammond's R.j.) When you atrt over generalizing and over genderizing, you end up turning the glorious Anima into destructive Kali. And the thoughtful bard (of everywhere) becomes the present-day popular music business, every Brittney, BeeGee, and Elton J. in its wretched place, cranking out the Kalis and sex criminals. The big beat has cleared the decks of the nightengales and given all the stranded fish to the fratricidal seagulls. Uou all want to know the fate of the entire traditional scene: If you are not (we are not) careful everything will be Americanized and no tune recognizable without strumming guitars and bloody, squaky keyboards. Get traditional, you pop-loving Brits! before your entire culture becomes the lapdog of Columbia. Yours, sincerely worried about it all, minnesinger5
