Jehovah's Hitlist

[bccreations]

There is a little-known band that came on the tail-end of Nu-Metal's explosion on the airwaves. Bender had a single radio-play song that I don't even know qualifies as a hit (although I like it) called Superfly. It is from the album Jehovah's Hitlist.

"The Hanged Man" is a prominent (and oft-mentioned) theme in King's The Dark Tower series.

Which reminds me that the Gunslinger comic should be out very, very soon.

I've never been a fan of Stephen King. I tried reading one of his books (I can't remember which one any more, but I think I grabbed it off of one of your bookshelves) and was shocked at how chaotic and rudimentary it was. I had expected a much better cadence and delivery from someone so famous. Perhaps it was just the single book, but I remember the comment that all his books were like that, so I've never given it any more of a chance than that

Nope - that's why he is as popular as he is; he writes down to the level of most americans. He has good ideas, and I've read a couple of his books that are actually written well, but for the most part he caters to the whims of the people.

And that bothers me. I want an author to take me on his tale. Sometimes that will be what I want, but sometimes it's things I never expected and that kind of mastery (when done right, obviously) is what makes reading so worthwhile. Otherwise I'd just pay attention to my own stuff.

TV is dumbed down for me. I don't need books to do the same.

Unfortunately, you and I do not represent the vast majority of Americans in our opinion on this.
