but isn't the "TALE OF THE STAR" part of the "work"? i actually think something is being missed here bcz of tom's intital generalisation, which is that pop has a concrete history of styles and manners and shticks and tricks, and also that audiences do: ie they "express" the story of their own lives - cf SEVEN AGES OF POP LIFE theory - in reference to specific releases at particular ages
(and if you happen on the release out of sequence, and try and slot it into the mode where it did once work, in ref.its FIRST audience, it can SPECTACULARLY not work --- but this is not the only mode available...)
