The Billionaire’s Vinegar
Another fantastic book. I seem to be on a roll.
This one is delivered in an almost dry, fairly impartial tone which only added to my hanging on every word. Wow what a tale.

Continuing from Alabama this weekend…
Here’s an object d’art created by my niece who lives in Alabama. She’s thirteen. I thought this is pretty cool and particularly “modern art-ish” for a thirteen year old.
In the Deep South this freaky huge flower grows on a tree. They call it a cowcumber, or swamp magnolia.
Farewell Mobile Bay way out there. About to drive to Jackson, Mississippi, for a crawdad boil. I sure wish we could play some gigs down here. Southern life is where its at. Super chilled out.
I missed the day at the swimming hole. And the 80 foot homemade black waterslide.
I think this kid was shooting skeet with a 12 gauge a little earlier.
Hosing down a couple hundred pounds of live crawdads. They’re known as crawfish down here but they’re not fish. They’re bugs.
Things are heatin’ up ’round here.
Jackson, Mississippi, airport. This (like most sculptures of children) is a fairly creepy looking sculpture dedicated to racial reconciliation. The portrait behind it is of Medgar Evers, the brilliant champion of the Voting Rights Act and desegregation legislation. He was murdered in 1963. There’s a great exhibit on his life here and having an hour to blow I must say I’m finding it very inspiring.
How cool are these ladies. They’re being arrested for going into the “public” library.

This is what I spent the afternoon on. On the lovely Mobile Bay. Then ate deep fried pickles (hamburger pickle chips) at The River Shack with shrimp poboys. Can’t imagine I consumed even one vitamin or mineral there. Fascinating, captain. They eat like nine-year-olds.

Now here’s another quite amazing read.
This writer’s voice is such a perfect dusty old pick-up truck that I really thought he’d look like Tom Waits.
I thought wrong.
Anyway, it’s To Kill a Mockingbird but without the huge tragic bit. Just a series of beautiful incidents which illuminate themes. Or at least that’s one way I see it.
Actually fuck that. This is just plain awsome. Read it.

Let me just take a second to remind you of this:
I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. Obsessing about it.
I wrote a poem about it.

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.

Just a quick note to let you know that Courtney and Brent’s performance at Radio 104.5 (WRFF-FM) in Philly from last week is up on their site. Listen with gusto.
GOTHMAN
Written by sean gothman on . Posted in Courtney.
Last week I mentioned that I was reading The Forever War and that I wanted to hear from Richard K. Morgan about it. Richard just got back to me via Pete:
When I finished The Forever War I actually thought to myself that this is the best book I’ve ever read. Whether it is or not is irrelevant. The book is amazing.
From Richard:
Yeah, The Forever War is great. Haldeman was really there, he served as a combat engineer in Vietnam, was injured in the fighting and invalided home. The book’s a brilliant metaphor for veteran dislocation. I met Joe in Gijon a couple of years ago, along with his wife Gay – really lovely couple.
There you have it.
