[lbo-talk] another TP poll: still whiter, righter, more

[Alan Rudy]

I still love Bertell Ollman's Alienation... the depth of the a-hah, THAT's
what I haven't been able to put my finger on!, moment was amazing...
and when I went back and listened to early Genesis recently it was overblown
and ridiculously arty but still pretty good... (but I won't be doing it
again any time soon [and I don't want to talk about that Kansas album, much
less the Al Stewart one...])
and I still like Isaac Asimov... (but probably not Anne McCaffrey or Roger
Zelazny)...
but, then again, I've always been opposed to stage theories... ;-)
either that or, despite moving forwards, I'm recursively stuck in the past.
