It's a Theory, Let's Put It That Way

Earlier this week, I reported for Galleycat (and if you're not reading that blog every morning, I wish you would!) on Philip Pullman's harsh words for C.S. Lewis, whose Narnia series was condemned as "a peevish blend of racist, misogynistic and reactionary prejudice." Well, suggests Reason blogger Tim Cavanagh, when it comes to 20th-century British literature, "racism is a big part of what makes some writers good."

Right, and if we apply the same principles to pop music, we wind up with the white nationalist teen sensation Prussian Blue, the band that proves you can so craft a peppy little number out of the life of Rudolf Hess.
