Great stuff here. I came to this album later in life and it still hit, but more in a looking-back sort of way. Yet another instance of me discovering a work of art well after the window where it could've been more impactful and possibly improved my situation and outlook. Many such cases!

Ha, happens all the time! Though I do think great art manages to find and hit you no matter the timing.
I subscribe to lots of substacks, but every personal essay from you is a must read, even at midnight when I should be asleep.
Also, looking forward to Beetle Battle!
Thanks so much!
Beetle Battle will be ready soon!
Man. I don’t know if anyone who didn’t listen to this album when he was a teenager is going to appreciate this essay like I do. But I do.
