Good point, and one I was thinking of. While the prices are high (moreover, the location itself is specific), if you're in New York and you want to see it, it's not an insane amount, unless you're really struggling.

Though of course, the album is available, and given that the play is so music-driven, that's a pretty good vector. I haven't seen the play, but I've gotten the experience with the music.

He has some hot, hot songs, whether or not he's a jerk in real life.

And I like Immortal Technique. Him giving an a capella in the rain at Rock the Bells was one of the greatest experiences of my life. But he seems like he was an a-hole.

Can we get, "Bullshit"? Good thing the tentpole movies tend ("tent") to mostly be faceless Marvel flicks and their more artistic DC brethren.

This is awesome, though, for example, with "Narwhal, let's see," he's obviously saying, "Well, let's see," and the "narwhal" sort of cheapens the unintentional poetry with a gaggy laugh word. I'd love to have seen these actually transcribed, because I think they're good (and become cheapened when fitted with words…

I get it about the scrappy, sort of throwaway nature of some of this album, but I think it's remarkable for how great the music is. Whether or not it came from its influences wholesale or had questionable content, this album is full of incredible beats, great rhythms, just goodness. "Ali Baba and the forty thieves" is…

Loving much of "Two Birds, One Stone." Will listen to the others when I get another stone.

Well, except for the people who were still alive for the spaceships.

What about 2001: A Space Odyssey, where everyone who ever lived between the monkeys and the spaceships was born and died? Don't even mention Tree of Life…

It's in Demonology, apparently, and just called "Boys." And oof, sounds like a troll with a lot of writing time.

I think my reply to this didn't go through, but in essence, that writer ("Mr. Peck!") seemed to be almost (or thoroughly) satirical in his assessment; i.e., he was writing a Maddox piece, perhaps, because he's so over the top that I'm surprised he himself wasn't being ironic and/or loved Rick Moody.

Or Star Trek: The Worf of Wall Street.

Episode IX: The Wolf of Wall Ship

Lol, sorry. These become blog posts. Posted here.

For the record, I feel like Salinger, to write the stuff he did (or for anyone to write anything that people connect with), would deeply get people who connected with it. But this was a nice back-and-forth. (End comment.)

If this was ironic, it's the funniest reply I've ever gotten. If not, is this from someone who hasn't read the story "Boys Walk In" (or something like that)? It's mindblowing.

Which maybe it sort of is, tough to tell without reading it. Is this not the spitting image of 2016 Internet users discussing something based on vague, secondhand information? Which is what people used to do, but now we have primary sources so much more easily available, so I think it's just, "Why have we not gotten…

I think the premise might have worked more smoothly if it were more of a conversation with the dead authors and others than asking them questions you're trying to answer. Like, more poetic than answer-seeking.

These are talented writers, too. Strange project, and I would want to see what some of the interrogations look like. I'm so far behind in reading (or so booked up, lol) that I doubt I'll check this one out, but it would have been great if we got a larger sample of each of the sections (like, a few pages).
