Now reading Chuck Klosterman's Rock*, which imagines a world where the Velvet Underground outsold everyone. Lou Reed is a messiah, the Beatles are a cult band, and hip-hop becomes country. The songs are the same. Nothing else is.

Utterly incoherent how he goes from Athens, where he denigrated Persia as the eternal Other in a clash with Western "civilization," to this embrace of Samarkand, a city that's wholly bound up in Persian "civilization," if talking about civilizations is so important to you.
Few places on Earth have historically played such an important role in global trade and commerce as Samarkand. It’s an honor to be here today — not just to remember the history, but the opportunities for the future.
