I have this book, I've tried to read it, I've actually only read parts.
It is a very collegiate work, he uses lots o' 50cent words and tries very hard to impress the regents or whoever.
I feel the same way that in the way he writes about the VU school of things, he's trying to give it respect that he really doesn't have. I think he don't really care for this subgenre, and he tries the same "props" giving to dj Qbert and the whole turntable revolution, but he reallly just doesn't get it. He's a total prog rock nut, fripp is his ground zero. He's trying to encompass the whole lot of avant-pop-culture without any real understanding.
