Delirium & Madness

More shameless self-promotion, as the saying goes, that has not a whit to do with PC vs. Mac or whether I know best how to do Steve’s job. Someone should be thankful, but I doubt it. Anyway, the latest GRACK! is out. I just posted the following at FarrFeed (see below), but MyMac gets the cleaned-up version. Not that Tim would mind one bit, but there is such a thing as blending in, so here you go, under the radar:

Yes, I did it and I’m glad. You should feel privileged. I can’t even POST this kind of thing at [unnamed Mac-related Web site]. Good ole Salon. So why won’t they publish my lurid true tale of [use your imagination] from Austin, Texas of the glory days, eh?? Answer me that! Mr. Visa is hungry, chilluns! (Actually, the book behind that link goes well beyond the obvious hook. But the [most-read section of Salon] department’s sitting on a gripping — sorry — excerpt. Maybe they think I made it up. The AIDS generation is so conservative …)

[GRACK!] The Thousand Flavors of Desire

“Great hootchie-kootchie magoochie! All this and straight as a razor now, so let that be a lesson to you: the music lives, and rock & roll will never die. I was so excited, I emailed a friend and told him to come over right away. This is a real musician, you understand, someone who almost wet his pants on hearing I might sell the Gibson, but he hasn’t shown up yet. I think I wrote that cranking up the beast again was ‘way more fun than [honored Dixie past-time],’ which might have scared him off. (He’s younger than me but hails from northern Alabama, so I thought he’d take the bait.)”
