@briankeene.bsky.social I have an Alex McVey original as well (saw yours on your Patreon) Alex sent this to Jim, but because Blind Shadows was my first novel, Jim gave it to me. He was like that, as you know.

Listening to Howard Stern interviewing Stephen Wilson Jr. this morning, and it is honest, earnest, and real. Absolutely fascinating and moving discussion of art and creativity. One of the Top 10 Stern Show interviews of all time (and I've been listening since the DC-101 days).

[MOMA inherits the Russ Meyer archives. I interviewed Russ once! He said he had nothing to do with KISS ME QUICK, he never planned a Dirty Harry parody with Charles Napier, and all his movies were much improved now that he edited them down to 20 minutes each.]
