Yes, I haven't read the K-Punk piece either, not because I can't but because I felt I had better things to do with my time (one can construe this as either anti-intellectualism or sanity), but what Tom's saying here is very important. My piece isn't interested in refuting Nathan's statement but in understanding it, and in fact I see myself as posing questions and suggesting ideas that no one else ever has about such statements (well, no one that I know of; I hope someone somewhere has), and I assume that - while the issue "does ______ write his own lyrics" is a stand-in issue - the inchoate perceptions and impulses that it stands in for are quite real and potent.

Maybe K-Punk addresses this later in his piece, but I'm too anti-intellectual/sane to find it.

Half of me thinks k-p hasn't read one of your column all the way through, Frank. He clearly doesn't understand the motivation behind it. Is he even aware of this community and what we talk about/the manner in which we talk about it?

'no' is the short answer. And the long answer. I genuinely don't think he's interested in knowing what we talk about or how, and I'm slightly worried by why I still feel under attack when I also think that is the case!!
