I guess I should really try to find a copy of this entire show cuz here’s another one which I think turned out pretty sweet considering its live and all.
Oh Boston. On the NE coast these guys were such an infestation that they just went ahead and fed them to the local prison inmates…. Without drawn butter.
WFNX has been a cool station since the eighties. Check out some of the names on these reels.
I haven’t finished this book yet but man, it’s fuggin genius. Get it. Basically a war novel, it’s setting is a really amazing dystopian view of the future. Incredibly detailed and well considered in regards to every concept he puts in. And there’s a lot of em.
I’m having Pete ask Richard K. Morgan about it cuz he’s my favorite uber modern writer. (Another Warhols fan. Pete met him when Richard was on book tour.) If he has, I’ll post what he says.
And check out “Altered Carbon” by Richard K. Morgan. This also mind-blowing book deals with a plausible future and how class structure/technology could play out. Richard’s “voice” as a writer is so cool. Dude is awesome.
Lately I have been confused and troubled about some basic things like: who I am. What I’m doing. What I’m not doing. What I should be doing, etc. etc. ad nauseum. When I get like this I like to read Paulo Coelho, and in case anyone else is feeling that way, here’s why… he writes things like this:
“There is no tragedy, only the unavoidable. Everything hath its reason for being: thou needest only distinguish what is temporary from what is lasting.”
“What is temporary?” Asked Elijah.
“The unavoidable”
“And what is lasting?”
“The lessons of the unavoidable.”
This is from “The Fifth Mountain”.
He also throws around a lot of archaic words I don’t understand like “god” and “warrior” but his books hold a lot of wisdom and are generally a short, easy read if you’re in a place where you need that kind of thing.
Did anyone else happen to notice these incredible lyrics:
When I look back on the best days of my life
I think I watched them all on tv
I am so homesick now for people that I never knew
I am so homesick now for places I can never be
I might have a couple words wrong but wow what a heavy sentiment and so clearly expressed. I am humbled.
That’s by Sam Endicott from the Bravery. It’s called “Time Won’t Let Me Go.”
