Holy shit! Just stumbled on this and reflecting back on the days. Congrats on 30! Saw Quicksand on the 30th Slip tour and was thinking about Shovel and the Anti-Matter Compilation.
I just have an observation and a question. am I the only person who thinks Kent McClard isn’t given enough credit for all he has done? In this essay Norman mentions McClard but didn’t Kent coin the term “rage against the machine”? I really hope Kent gets some kind of financial reward for that. The term rage against the machine in the last 30 years had been reconfigured some many times it is beyond annoying at this point: Just this morning I was reading a book about the history of Cold War liberalism and the author wrote: “it is one thing to rage against the loss of optimism another to restore it.” The fact that the term rage against... has entered the academic sphere proves that. Who know that was going to happen? but as Judith Shklar wrote, “it is well known that each age writes history anew to serve its own purposes and that the history of political ideas is no exception to this rule.”
Congratulations on the anniversary. 30 years of a project, across iterations, is an amazing accomplishment.
