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.

My 1st GW light bulb moment was the first story in Endangered Species about the traffic jam and the blues music was written about quite well imho

And it works for guys who have or like to pretend they have builds they can show 
off.

I can only think of folk songs--"Born beneath a shooting star" and "Sad 
experience teaches me" and such.  There must be other music, though.

"The Tale of the Student and His Son" mentions dancing to celebrate the victory 
over the Minotaur/Monitor, but says nothing about the music.

I vaguely remember reading that he does in fact listen to "headbanging heavy 
metal", but I can't find it on the Web.

Certainly the title /There are Doors/ is from the cover of the Doors' first 
album, not that that's exactly heavy metal.
