Album Review: "Wormz" by Death Lullaby

Wormz

Currently before falling asleep, I'm reading a book about the Gay 90's and Turn of the Century New Orleans. It was a Christmas Present, and it's one of the most fascinating tomes I have ever read.

Every night, it's just one more chapter and I'll go to sleep. Sadly, this book is going to end soon and then it's off to another place and time. It's just not long enough.

A big part of the story is a cast of characters, the creation of "Storyville," and jazz. There have been a great many pages dedicated to the story of jazz and Buddy Bolden's rise and fall.

One of the things this book is teaching me is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Jazz was considered to be evil and an affront to social mores, the patriarchy, and white supremacy. Respectable people would try to shelter their children from the music...it's interesting because it seems like we have heard this in the recent past.
