Wiki says it’s a “musical genre that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918,″ not sure if Lestat was underground then, convalescing. He did catch up on things when he pulled himself together in TVL.
If it was Armand who likes it, it seems like a guilty pleasure Armand might not want publicly known about himself! It’s not too far #ooc for Armand to like it, really, he does have theatre experience. Under Musical Director de Lenfent’s direction, the TdV probably performed dark comedy that had similarly jaunty music. And murder.
I believe I read an article about illiteracy that said people who were illiterate into adulthood have far better hand writing than those who learned at a young age. I believe it’s because they valued it more and tended to treat it as a ‘gift’ or ‘art’.

I actually adore reading books from Lestat’s point of view because he is in all seriousness the most honest narrator I’ve ever encountered in fiction. He couldn’t care less if something he says is so embarrassing the reader (meeeeeee) has to put down the book and cover their face for five entire minutes before they can pick it up again. He owns it and everyone, everyone (from readers to characters) loves him for it.
And it’s actually pretty refreshing to come out of Interview with a Vampire into The Vampire Lestat. It’s literally like going from Louis lying to your face while he cries and blows his nose on your t shirt to Lestat bursting through your bedroom door with a full chorus behind him performing Uptown Funk.
