Re Seth and Nabokovian rock acts

There was a group called The Kinbotes a couple of years back; I liked that
name better. Band names should be plural.

As someone connected to that world, I find most of your college-educated
rock-and-rollers (the front men, at least) have read Nabokov, but generally
the big favorite is Garcia Marquez. I'm working with sort of a small
sample, of course.

I'm really glad Nabokov dismissed music not by his son; it makes it much
easier for me to like whatever I want.
