Scum

Thursday December 22, 2005

My friend and heavy metal co-conspirator Jim Raggi has posted the full text of his rambling manifesto, Scum at this location. While I don't agree with all of what Jim says, I do appreciate his efforts to stimulate a real dialogue on the artistic and cultural merits of the music that he and I (and many of you, I assume) love so much. I've been working on a full rebuttal of Scum, and I'll probably post it when I finally get around to launching Feast or Famine online, but in the meantime, give the original a read. It will take a while, but if you lay claim to a heavy metal passion, you can only benefit from reading it.
