The old saying is that "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture," which as a long rhetorical thorn was irresistible to me as a young person. I recognize it now for its myopia and its cowardice. That's not to say that any writer can write about music; it is entirely possible, and statistically likely, to fail. But somebody's gonna fucking dance about architecture one of these days, they will, and my greatest fear that I won't recognize it when it happens.
