Benjamin and Prentiss co-starred in the 1967-68 TV comedy He & She, which I understand is considered to be a neglected classic - looks like there's an episode on YouTube.

I haven't read Gather Yourselves Together but I do know that it's an extremely early novel, possibly written when he was 20 or 21, and was one of the last published as a paperback (just this year) although it did have a small hardcover printing in 1994. From what I know, it's not really representative of his non-SF…

Here's an interesting thing about that book, which uses a by now well-worn SF idea as though he'd invented it himself, and therefore ruins it with the "what really happened" postscript: Philip K. Dick once wrote "I have never yielded to reality. That's what SF is all about. If you wish to yield to reality, go read…

The rest wasn't all bad - I liked the Dead Dog Records arc with Tim Curry, Debbie Harry, Paul Winfield, Patti D'Arbanville, and Glenn Frey of the Eagles.

Mr. Spacey's interesting career has been the focus of many posts here, but no one has mentioned his really seminal role as far as I'm concerned: his stint as Mel Profitt in the second big story arc (1987-88) of Wiseguy, along with Joan Severance as his sister Susan. How lucky he was to have the chance to create a…

I "hated the pretentious and condescending attitude" of Revolutionary Road, which was a pale denatured shadow of the book, whereas I thought American Beauty worked quite well. Of course it's out of balance and at times distasteful, but that's intrinsic to the script and the characters, and it's why those particular…

"Though Guthrie never put the song to record, Wilco and Billy Bragg gave the tune a properly twangy, folky twist when they recorded it for their first Mermaid Avenue collection in 1998."
This is potentially misleading. At the link, your review of Mermaid Avenue says this is new music set to Guthrie's lyrics. So the…

That's kind of a non sequitur there. Bagombo Snuff Box IS his earlier work, consisting of early short stories that were previously uncollected.
