Broad, Yet Oh So Shallow Mekons Thing

Many, many words, and not bad, but somehow less than sublime, less than it should be.  Anywho, calling the Mekons impenetrable is probably not a great career move as a Mekons critic or fan, since they are as far from impenetrable as humanly possible--this is like the the pathetic poseur pretending and contending that Ulysses is unreadable or the Wake is trying too hard.  The Mekons are prolific and often intelligent and suitably well-read, but they are a working man and woman's punk rock country combo.  Instead of trying to scare off the proles, maybe the Mekon super fans should be a little more honest and generous.  Or not.  Who cares?  It sure as shit doesn't matter at this point.  Plus, the recommendations in the essay are more than a little obvious, like you read about being a Mekons fan instead of actually being one.  Doesn't matter either.  No bad publicity.  Mekons fans should be as generous as the band and not worry so much about chuckle-headed horseshit, so I won't.  Rock on, Mekons people everywhere.
