I'm in no way interested in Justin Timberlake. What I AM interested in is the consequences of him naming his new album (and therefore giving himself the title) after a sacrificial king.

People should think our their words more carefully, you know? Particularly true in the case of musicians, though I use the term very loosely in his case.

I haven't (and probably won't) listen to the album so I don't know what he's referencing. Possibly the same mytheme? It's a good one anyway and I'm fond of Robert Bly's treatment of it in Iron John.

In these things, it doesn't really matter if they understand what they're *actually* referencing (the reality behind reality) or not, they usually don't. It's what happens as a result that's interesting. Now Bowie, THAT was a man who knew his words. A Bard if there ever was one.

When I was just at the cusp of when these things naturally happen, I had *feelings* for the Goblin King. Screw it, I admit it, I still do.

even in death he gave us a sacred gift. he showed us how to die well. he showed us the value of a good death, of going on your own terms, at the right time.
