Free Music Review: Invaluable
Hit: 5 Stars
Though I don't yet own this recording, I saw Shawn perform it last winter. I think Shawn is the most important public intellectual of the last twenty years. Yes, he played a Ferenghi on Deep Space Nine, but I'd probably respect Chomsky more if he did a Star Trek guest shot once in a while, too. Along with Aunt Dan and Lemon and The Designated Mourner, the Fever is one of the most successful criticisms on contemporary culture and politics that I have read. Shawn has a special talent for blending humor and seriousness. In the Fever, the most memorable is his explanation, application, and paraody of Marx's concept of "Commodity Fetishism." You'll laugh all the way through and then realize at the end that you actually understand it better. The best sort of philosophizing.
If you are really interested in Shawn as a philosopher, get the actor's edition (Dramatist's Play Service)of Aunt Dan and Lemon and read the accompanying essays. The "Hitler's Dog" piece is as good as the play itself.
