“A page was enough, by then. If you read the biographies of people who have written good books, you often see the point where they suddenly come into themselves, and those weeks in the spring of 1997 were when I came into myself as a writer. They feel like some of the best weeks of writing I’ll ever have. The discovery that I could write better about something as trivial as an ordinary family dinner than I could about the exploding prison population of the United States, and the corporatization of American life, and all the other things I’d been trying to do, was a real revelation.”

- I read that ordinary family dinner thing. He’s right. It was damn good.

The Gash by The Flaming Lips

This Sparklehorse/Wayne Coen track I posted this weekend has kicked off a little Flaming Lips binge. That means one thing - Soft Bullentin time - one of my top 10 albums of all-time. Any track from that album would suffice. They’re all perfect. The Gash just felt right for a Monday. As he says, “Battle on!”

“It’s not a question of being in favor or against or how you define marriage. It’s just from a civil point of view, government should not get involved with who you love, who you live with, who you marry. And I was pleased to see the president enunciate the similar view, and my hope would be that Governor Romney also evolves and understands that in this country there are people who are violently opposed to it.”
