I think it's too early to call the emperor Naked along with his City. So I'm perfectly happy to let him have whatever birthday cake he wants and eat it too.

There was a lot of of "Zorn's over now" talk around the time of GUNDOWN coming from the miltant (and self-conscious) avant-gardists who wanted everything he made to sound like ARCHERY or whatever. Also, during the first Naked City tour, there was at least one disparaging review I saw calling NC "Zorn's boogie band". Zorn's got a lot of music he makes real good. I think it comes down to who's listening and for what, not if "he's still got it". Anyone with half a brain knows better than to make an argument like that. sh
