Every time that I've lost the ability to read fiction, or words on a page that weren't for my then thesis, it has come back, so far. I'm able currently, but I don't rule out its wandering off again.
you have never seen two people so confused by the very concept of They Might Be Giants
*laughs very quietly*
I appreciate this post as a view in and an angle, the more because for me, in greater LA (a little earlier than the events you describe, I think), there was no keeping hip hop or R&B away, yet people still tried, ridiculously. It was on the radio, some called it "too loud" no matter the volume, and like, Compton is right there. By the time I finished high school or a little after, there were white boys recording objectively terrible rap songs in Long Beach (national radio airtime ... on pop/alt-rock stations, not rap-centric ones), too.
