edit: ok wait i want to go back on my statement. i think it was just the inclusion of "byronic hero" threw me off because edmond dantes certainly wasnt bored when he had a complex master plan to ruin all those people's lives. but like every other character mentioned is afflicted with boredom, angst and alienation though i guess the meaning has evolved since then.
but, tbh, it is one of those words that gets overused and misused so in a way it's become useless because it's kind of lost relevant meaning like "mary sue"
It was 30 years ago today: Bill Frisell's This Land was released on Nonesuch. The guitarist/composer works with a sextet, including clarinetist Don Byron, on these 14 original tunes. You can hear it here.
Rolling Stone says: "Strange meetings of the mysterious and the earthy, the melancholy and the giddy, make perfect sense by Frisell's deliciously warped way of thinking.”
