I have close to zero interest in technical criticism, but that may be one of the reasons I'm feeling confined or confounded by intellectual/experiential criticism.

Good point Phil. I don't discount technical criticism, but it just hadn't come up in the discussion thus far. I'd add purely technical to purely social as an academic dead end, and also note that I agree completely that the intersection of the manner in which various people respond to a work must be based on a comprehensive understanding of the actual traits of the thing itself.

fifteen years pass...

Behind the Music is my ultimate nostalgic hangover binge watch these days. so easy to dial up any band on youtube and watch the VH-1 spin masters tell a tale as old as time.

anybody have any favorites? the hair metal bands tend to be the most fun. as much as i hate Guns N Roses as a band, there's a pretty awesome story there.

also i love the Red Hot Chili Peppers one mostly cos the narration by Downtown Julie Brown. everytime she calls them "The Chili's" it's so great.
