His other book

[supergee]

I’ve been a George R.R. Martin fan since he shocked the hard-core Analog readership by sullying its hitherto-chaste pages with overt heterosexuality (in “A Song for Lya”). So I’m extremely glad that he’s hit it big with A Game of Thrones, even though that’s not my idea of fun at all. Along the way, he wrote a strange rock-and-roll novel called The Armageddon Rag, to which my reaction has always been ambivalent. Here’s a condescending review (Eeuww, Illuminatus! cooties!) that gets at some of its good and bad parts.

Thanx to File 770

I have that lying around somewhere and used to reread it at regular intervals until about 10-15 years ago, when some of the little things that nagged at me all got together and began to YELL, and I bet if I picked the book up now, the specifics would come roaring back.
