I guess the answer might be kind of obvious, but I never really thought about it, until this:

Well I read his Fargo Rock City a long time ago and it never dawned on me. But now it seems pretty obvious after reading his latest book...

So I take it that no one who has replied so far has read any of his stuff? If so, do you have an opinion?

PEW writing about CK is kind of mind blowing though

At the risk of making y'all think I'm even less hip - wat in the hell is a "Rockist"? And is it a bad thing to be?

Not as bad as being Po' Edwood Wangmann.

Oh MsLaurapaws. (Wiki.)

Haha, I thought this was the noise board, and I thought what are all these people doing on the noise board, they aren't normally there, but then what am I doing on the noise board, I'm not normally there. But it's not the noise board. Ms Laura, you are whole and complete not knowing what a rockist is.

So, um, I kinda get the idea. But why use all of the big words to explain an (apparently) simple concept? And why am I annoyed by the word, anyway?

Grumble. Grumble. Grumble.

Obv. I need to go eat some more chocolate.

What other word would you use instead though? I've never seen much agreement on a synonym for "rockist."

A rockists is basically like a buddhist, but instead of following the teachings of buddha he (or she) beleives in the messages of the Rock Gods, ie John Lennon, Neil Young, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, etc.
