Once, when I was but a wee lad, my friend and mentor Nate held up the Beatles Sergeant Pepper and the Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks and declared in a stentorian voice that the answer to all musical questions existed in a perfect synthesis of the two. That both records were both a wonderful disease to which the other was the even more wonderful cure.
I thought he was high on something other than life.
But Lo, I have come down from the mountain and have seen the glory.
The real pivot point exists not between SgtPepper and Bollocks...it exists between
Bow down before the greatness of the perfect formula...
or
Prove
Me
Wrong!
