SoE is <i>New Traditionalists<\/i>-level work, without retreading; good parts and a sum which is greater.\n<p>Standouts: Fresh, What We Do, Mind Games, Later is Now. Only one real misstep (Cameo). Of particular note: No Place Like Home, possibly the least-DEVO-like Devo song they ever recorded, and a vector showing where they might&#8217;ve gone in better hands.

It&#8217;ll be either in the <em>third<\/em> Kendis Thompson book, or a future Warder universe story.\n<p>I suspect you can also name the character someone else. I hope you can, anyway. XD<\/ol>\n<p>It&#8217;s a hard time to be in the creative classes, particularly in the States, where support for non-commodifyable culture has been on the rocks for years. <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130828002935\/http:\/\/www.salon.com:80\/2012\/04\/22\/no_sympathy_for_the_creative_class\/singleton\/\">This article is both relevant and interesting on that point<\/a>.
