I'm waiting for Stephen King to die so I can sell my personalized, autographed copy of "Gerald's Game" to someone named Jason. I'm keeping "Dolores Claiborne."

No one can fuck with the concrete donkey. That shit will fuck you up good.

Does he get this confusion, too? I thought it was only Abe Vigoda.

This would have been 1994 or 1995…There were a lot of things that weren't on CD then.

Tom and Dick Smothers
My friend worked for the university auditorium where they performed, and he had to drive them back to the airport hotel (about a 1 hour drive). He asked me to go along for company on the return trip. Dick sat in the back reading a newspaper with some kind of travel lamp, but Tom was very…

His version of "The Tennessee Waltz" with his wife singing all the parts and his multi-track guitar parts is kind of haunting, and was apparently one of the first recordings so made.

Don't you

So…
Is this what Robert Siegel does in his free time when he's not hosting "All Things Considered?"

Dat brown soun' sho do get round.

I think it helps that King writes such fun, personal notes about his stories, in his introductions, etc…It makes him seem like such a nice guy, and wins him a lot of points with me.

Dolores Claiborne/Gerald's Game
I just thought I would add that I really dig Dolores Claiborne, but Gerald's Game, not so much. But I have a soft spot for them because I have autographed hardcovers of both of them. He used to sign books if you sent them return postage, and my folks got them for me one year. DC says…

Thirtie-sixies!

I read IJ just after it came out in what, 1997?, having read some of his other stuff…what was that early novel..Broom of the System? Anyway, after I finished it, I gave it away because I was so perplexed by the end…I never finished reading the footnotes. I got tired of flipping back and forth—the two bookmarks thing…
