    The Madness of Forced Domestication

    No, Henry didn't write that one -- Google-Fu tells me that it was written by Dan Fante, who I am unfamiliar with.

    Bierce's "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" -- a classic masterpiece of a short story so good that it was made into an Academy-Award/Palm D'Or-winning short film, also broadcast as Season 5, Episode 22 of The Twilight Zone (available on Netflix and Amazon Prime.) I remember watching this in...

    The Madness of Forced Domestication

    Tropic of Cancer always managed to lift my spirits when I read it -- give it a go if you haven't already. Henry knew what time it was way back when and so much still rings true all these years later. Old Man Miller would surely dig my sig below:

    What's A Bag Loadout for Around $200?

    +1 for the Oceanweaves -- I bought the P35+ set for my birthday last year to up my carrying capacity a bit from my old Avenir Excursion Small Panniers, which are also good inexpensive bags that have served me well for 6 years. With the Weaves on the back rack and the Avenirs on the front (oh...

    Reading suggestions?

    And have you already read Tropic of Cancer? Amazing how a book originally published in '34 can still be so relevant today -- Henry knew what a load of rubbish "The American Way" was all those years ago. Plus, it's funny as hell too, like a lot of his work. A genuine artist, that Henry -- one...

    Do you remember your first punk show?

    SST Records tour, like a million years ago at some theater on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego late '84 or early '85, when I was still just a young sailor with poor military bearing aboard the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63; my buddy Jamie and I saw Saccharine Trust, The Minutemen, Meat Puppets and Husker Du...

    She's a silly, brain-damaged attention whore, like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, etc. ad nauseaum...they can all fuck off and die.
