Since discovering Nick Tosches' writing in Vanity Fair 25 years ago, he's been my favorite author. His style angered me, as a writer, bc I'd never be that good.
Finally reading his Dean Martin bio, "Dino," instead of jealous anger, I'm filled with joy, wonderment. THIS IS STORYTELLING!

It took "an engineered rabies virus to map how psilocybin changes brain circuitry in mice" for scientists to realize what countless trippers have known forever.

If earth's life was condensed into 24 hours, the entirety of known human existence would be less than 1.5 seconds. 😮
Also, the more advanced a past human civilization, the harder it'd be to find evidence of it. If advanced humanity existed on earth millions of years ago, we prob wouldn't know.

Frank Zappa passed away 32 years ago today, & whether the culture realizes it, his music resonates even now. He certainly had an impact on me, & so I did my best to capture why Frank’s voice still matters with my book that is the first to explore the legacy of his political messaging. RIP Maestro.

Billed as absurdist rock, Utah's Muskies are exactly what I need! The same is true for you if you dig: Genre fusion (psych, rock, jazz, hip hop, punk), cultural skewering and fun.

Kinder's Creamy Louisiana sauce is everything I love about Tabasco but better in that it's slightly thicker.
The redditor who said, "It tastes like the smell of cow piss," obviously can't differentiate between vinegar and ammonia.
And yes, I'm a Tabasco stan.
