Wolfe in music?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Sharing this for the fun of it:  there's an image drawn from and a direct
quote from Wolfe's short story 'The Detective of Dreams' in the opening
lines of a new song from one of my bands:

On that note:  does anyone know of Wolfe's works being referenced in song
anywhere?  I think I once saw that there was a metal band called Carnifex.
 Pretty cool.

My stuff's more punk rock than metal, so I'm happy to bring Wolfe into that
world - I think he's probably too readily associated with metal or prog
rock, especially BotNS.  Actually, I saw a comment in a thread once that
mentioned that Wolfe was good *despite* being a bit Yngwie Malmsteen. Ha!

Of course, the really hilarious thing is that I highly doubt Gene himself is
into anything remotely like all that!  (Nor was Tolkien, who found his way
into Led Zeppelin and others.)
