Last week I was assembling the index for A Philosophy of Cover Songs<\/em>. No release date yet, but soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve previously posted a bit of the introduction<\/a> and the epilogue<\/a>. Last month, in a moment of perversity, I also wrote a summary of each chapter in haiku. I had entirely forgotten doing that until I saw the file yesterday. It’s in a directory of things written for the blog, so clearly it should be posted here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Titles for haiku are overkill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spring cherry blossoms
Cannot define “cover song”
So I won’t either<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s make distinctions
Even if they’re slippery
Mimics, renditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covers aren’t all bad
The mimics copy their source
Renditions, less so<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time’s an allusion
The passing of each season
About something else<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change can be so great
That even the mother bird
Doesn’t know her brood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of songs like ducks
Or like strawberries in Spring
Historical things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
