Idolization is for rock stars, even rock stars manqué like these impotent bohos-critics just want a little respect. Of course, neither did King Crimson a lot of the time.

So if you think the sonic cover here proves they're rockers at heart, you have a fine art critic on your side. Cīack in 1970 I played Max Kozloff, a Cal Arts colleague of distinctly Yurrupean musical tastes, some singles I thought instructive-"Brown Eyed Girl," "California Earthquake," "Neanderthal Man," like that. Not for nothing is the sonic grown-up so attached to phony grandeur. You may not think Glenn Branca's proteges are a rock and roll band, but after all, why else would they essay a lyric like "Fucking youth/Working youth"? At their worst they sound like Polyrock mainlining metronome, at their best like one of Branca's early drafts.
