Probable Parallel of Singers and
Hoods. While
on the subject of hoods and brollies (see previous entry), I should like to
make a distinction between the free-standing singer of, say, a rock group and
the one who also plays an instrument, particularly a guitar, on the basis of
the distinction already drawn (see previous entry) between uncollapsible
objectivistic hoods and collapsible subjectivistic hoods, as though the former
were on the level of the free-standing singer and the latter parallel with the
guitar-playing singer, whose disposition is arguably less unequivocally
objective than equivocally subjective. Either way, singing, particularly in a
rock-band context, is indicative, it seems to me, of a fiery or a watery female
dominance of the male (as antimale), as with hoods, and therefore the 'male'
singer appears to be one who is either antimetaphysically subordinate to metachemistry (free-standing singer) or antiphysically
subordinate to chemistry (piano-playing singer), in hood-like vein. Naturally,
there are female singers as well, but they tend to be either
metachemical (and fiery) or chemical (and watery), with the piano
arguably more applicable than the guitar in the latter context, as alluded to
above.
