I managed to get blocked by a writer I respect and that pretty much sucks, but not as bad as the time I got blocked by John Lurie.

I’m just thankful he’s still part of the discourse. You can count on one hand the number of directors at his age that still have something valuable to say and have contemporary offerings that don’t smack of self-parody. *coughcoppolacough*

Kissinger has one. The EU has one. Just give him one and then have the decency to never give another one out again.

I’d kill for a Cash cover of Tower of Song.

I just can’t be arsed with Bruce. It’s just earnest high energy mediocrity. To each their own and all that but man does that guy get on my tit. Maybe it was the solicitation of donations at his concerts to help pay for his divorce. Maybe.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen? Are you fucking kidding me? Since when have either of those clowns been cool. Dylan is great, sure, not cool. And why in the fuck is Springsteen in this conversation? He’s not a peer of those two. He never has been.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
