| Introduction | Somewhere in Colorado lives a lowly hermit named Scott. Some time ago he emerged from the bloated, seedy halls of academia with nothing to show for himself but a piece of paper reading "musicologist" and a sour disposition. Since then, he has spent his days scratching rants and diatribes into the walls of the dark musty cave he calls his home. His sickness seems primarily musical in nature, as evident in the subject matter of his writings. Topics of discussion in these deranged inscriptions include why Captain Beefheart was the true king of Rock and Roll and the proper volume at which a Clash album is to be played (quite loud). For reasons not fully understood, he began calling his disturbed chicken scratches "the Universal Sandwich." His delusional ravings are presented here in this blog without commentary, so that they can teach us something. If not something about music, then they should at least serve as a cautionary tale about madness in the modern age. |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
I'd avoid letting fame get to my head by writing a follow up musical that will be so bad and alienating that it will cut me back down to size.
