Default Irreverant Covers/Deconstructions
Ok, I am an avid fan of rock deconstructionists. It's not so much the fact that I hate rock music, but absolutely despise the way that the media portrays it, it's ridiculous mythology, and it's dominance. I feel since it's dawn that one of it's biggest plagues is the fact people actually choose to talk rock seriously.

That's why, when I hear a good reverberant cover or deconstruction of a 'classic' song it makes me smile. Suppose it's the Residents fanboy in me, I don't know.

Anyway:



Sun City Girls, "Tell me Something Good".



Frank Zappa "Ring Of Fire"



John Oswald "The Great Pretender"



The Residents "Hit the Road, Jack"

Why not talk about rock seriously?

Anyways... I think Third Reich 'N' Roll (1976) is the epitome of rock deconstructionist albums. It makes fun of the popular music of its time... and it's also hilarious, complex, creative, and very innovative. Strangely enough, I was listening to it this morning.

Alright then... I'll rephrase my question: why shouldn't rock music be taken seriously? Is it inferior to other musical genres?

In some ways for some genres, yeah. But, I'm not speaking of the music, but the attitude, and mythology.

That occurs in almost every genre of music... but I think I know what you're getting at. Are you speaking about how the Rolling Stone-esque crowd views many of the older rock bands?
