Greil Marcus on Chronicles and TTRH Nice little paragraph from Greil Marcus in an interview in Princeton Alumni Weekly: He also wrote Chronicles, an extraordinary book %u2013 not something talked into a tape recorder, not something rewritten by a ghostwriter %u2013 a book that nobody else could have written. Nobody else could have thought it, nobody else could have written it in the way that it was written. %u2026 And who knows, maybe all his life what Bob Dylan really wanted to be was a disk jockey. Now he%u2019s a disk jockey, too. He gets to be on the radio and tell stories and make sardonic comments and play records that no one%u2019s ever heard. I wish his writing were more often more like this talking. (Via Expecting Rain.) 11:39:02 PM    comment []

Don’t Tick Off Michael Crichton Or you’ll be appearing in his next book as a child rapist. (Via Say Anything.) 6:52:13 PM    comment []

When is a dollar worth a penny? Apparently some folks at Verizon can't tell the difference between a dollar and a penny. 4:32:04 PM    comment []
