This is a song, Blitzen Trapper: Furr, and I was listening to it on my way to Minnesota (!!!) when I started thinking about the Apollonian and Dionysian ways that people live.
The man joins a wolf pack and describes how he turned to the wild and let the Dionysian traits take hold:
"And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to furYeah, and my thoughts they surely were
Turned to instinct and obedience to God"
Oh the ways that we can relate literature to our everyday lives...
So, as Blitzen Trapper says in the song,
If you're gonna get made
Don't be afraid of what you've learned...
Fantastic, Jill! What a great musical tie-in!! Thanks for sharing this. Now, off to iTunes to add this song to my library :)
ReplyDeleteI heard a band called Miike Snow over break. It might be a bit strange for your tastes, but even Julie Bender likes them, so you may like them too!
