- mattlutze 12y agoI wonder sometimes if the sort of clarity and vinegar with which this man writes, is only borne from the kinds of past struggle and experience he and many artists seem to share.
- atonse 12y agoAfter watching "Page One" where you learn about his past, I noticed he seems to have a very "I don't give a crap what people think" attitude, which is a great quality for a journalist.
- vermontdevil 12y agoThis quote is great: "Perhaps he sensed that he was king of an entropic kingdom imprisoned by incontinence and cholesterol ads."
