Further travels in funk, further travels in mud and death.
The seemingly lowly art of music criticism can be a jump-off point for discussion
of something unknowable. This might be rooted in the obvious disconnect between what music criticism is and what it repeatedly attempts, and fails to breach, namely the divide between the moment of experience and the non-time of prediction and recollection.

Lester Bangs understood better than most that the broken living thing of experience can only be dealt with by something equally broken and unpredictable, that an unreliable narrator is the only one worth listening to.
