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.

Fewer clothes = easier costume.

It's strange now that I think about it. People who cosplay at cons are often 
also part of the "filk" scene. (It's basically fan fiction in folk song form, 
for those who haven't been subjected to ten+ minute renditions on David Eddings 
plot summaries in three-chord format before, like I have...) Metal and folk 
don't often go hand in hand, do they? Or do they? I don't know much about metal.

What kind of music does Wolfe mention in his books? I'm drawing a blank on 
whether he describes much of the music in New/Long/Short Sun in particular.

Shirtless guy in a mask with a sword sounds more like "how to end up as a sex 
offender suspect" than "cool costume idea."
