"Did Love Hurt Heloise"

Comment has posted another Q & A mentor interview, this time with Calvin Seerveld, whose work in aesthetics is an inspiration to artists everywhere. His Rainbows for a Fallen World is an essential read.

In the interview, I was particularly charmed by his description of a class on writing pop songs he attended after "being emeritated from teaching philosophical aesthetics to graduate students." He turned the medieval story of Heloise and Abelard into a pop song called "Did Love Hurt Heloise," which the whole class later sung. "...It was entirely satisfying to bring the philosophical world of the 1200s (A.D.) together with a current-day sensibility and show that we humans of all ages are pitifully similar in la gloire et le misère de l'homme."

My own Comment Q & A appeared back in February. It's a pleasure to be in such august company.
