Carlos Santana may have been a part of an intriguing set of records as we have noticed in our discussions on his intriguing career. However, most of his 80's sucked. True, this might be a terrible thing to say about the works of his back then, since his peers from the 60's suffered the similar issues in the same period. Yes, something didn't work, though you have to admit – all of them did tried their best. Back to Santana – they released Freedom, which serves as one of the attempts to modulate their sounds for the period that had no clue what to do with them. While they didn't go full 80's Chicago on the disc, you do notice they planned to travel this road, yet they changed their approach at one point. Still, this only made the disc as a document of a group in search of an identity.

Monster Theory: Reading Culture (pdf)

It’s funny: in my research, as I’ve strove to find a cohesive ethnography for the monster fucker community, I’ve realized a few things.

First, I’m not sure that a cohesive ethnography exists period within any community. My first study in my masters program was about studying the Dark Romance genre, and it proved just that. It was a community that was united by a love for the genre, but beyond that things were so variable especially about what they liked and why they liked it.

The same is said about the monster fucking community. Bookstagram/Booktok monster fuckers are very different than say Tumblr Monsterfuckers. There are overlaps of course, united by a love of monsters, but even that is contentious as people all argue about if something is monster enough to label oneself as a monster fucker.

And the thing is, this ironically aligns with Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s Monster Culture (Seven Theses) in which he says: “History, like individuality, subjectivity, gender, and culture, is composed of a multitude of fragments, rather than of smooth epistemological wholes. Some fragments will be collected here and bound temporarily together to form a loosely integrated net—or, better, an unassimilated hybrid, a monstrous body.”

Kinda neat, isn’t it?

Perhaps it is time to ask the question that always arises when the monster is discussed seriously (the inevitability of the question a symptom of the deep anxiety about what is and what should be thinkable, an anxiety that the process of monster theory is destined to raise): Do monsters really exist?

Surely they must, for if they did not, how could we?

Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)”

[heartofstanding]

It is true that some of us have never glimpsed a monster. Yet none of us have beheld time, or oxygen, or the wind. We vividly perceive their effects, and from this evidence we postulate agency and cause. The effects of the monster are undeniable: a spur to self-protection; an insistent impulsion to narrative; a catalyst to fear, to desire, and to art. Even if we never behold a monster striding the hinterlands or lurking in the basement of our house, we cannot deny that these creatures live full lives that have been well recorded in our literature, our visual arts, our dreams. The question of whether they exist is beside the point, since the monster perseveres regardless of our doubt, indifferent to our credulity.

Carlos Santana has a career that moves within a variety of idioms, though he remains a rock musician at heart. Sure, he appears on many jazz fusion records, yet he always puts some of his rock stylings in these proceedings. That makes his collaboration with Herbie Hancock on Monster weird, since you can't really locate much of the rock idiom there. To be honest, you can't find jazz there either. Actually, I am quite happy to hear Herbie Hancock did some LPs, where he discarded his genre and which probably pissed off most of his audience. Nonetheless, there's something admirable about someone like him doing something like this, more musicians should do this more often. And the fact that he convinced Santana for this? Even better.
