Which is why I hired Jonathan to write essays - it's much less embarrassing than doing it myself. :D Well, I’d like to suggest that I kind of preshadowed Jonathan’s points in a much more non-academic manner with my “Science Fiction and rock music – a cultural comparison” series … but of course Jonathan brings an academic rigour to the proceedings that offer greater analytical depth and cross-referenced detail, whereas my piece was an extended and half-baked ramble.
