 have hammer and chisel, what's the best kind of stone to notate "rock

 You've been reading Terry Pratchett, haven't you :)
 I have only read the German translation ans while the German text talks about
 "rock music" I think the English one (at least from the title) talks about
 "soul music"?!
 But the style of Terry Pratchett is cool. Almost as cool as Douglas Adams
 writings... 
I think Pratchett is more focused and intentional satire. Adams is more
chaotic. Hitchhikers' Guide had a short episodic structure that I think
hindered it.
