It certainly seems, more than ever, that “the truth itself is on trial,” as Peter Baker recently wrote in the New York Times... “Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication,” former president George W. Bush said in a 2017 speech. The “main problem” behind the proliferation of political conspiracy theories “is a president who is also a self-invented fabulist,” argued Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson.
But in truth, the stew of “alternative facts” has been simmering for more than half a century on the right fringe. The GOP had endless opportunities across the decades to banish these theories... and its leaders often saw them as absurd. But they were also useful, helping to rally support from an aggrieved government-hating base, so the party’s mandarins allowed them to fester and grow until they spread from the toxic fringe to the mainstream, which they have finally overtaken.
It’s no wonder someone who embraced those ideas would become successful. Trump validates notions that his voters have long believed, ideas that the party refused to condemn and failed to repudiate. Trump... isn’t what caused these conspiracy theories. He’s what happens when nobody stands in their way.
The intellectual life of the American right since Sen. Joe McCarthy’s rise to prominence... can be seen partially as a series of flirtations with conspiracists and a dedicated reluctance to read fringe crackpots out of its ranks... National Review attacked John Birch Society founder Robert Welch, who called Dwight Eisenhower a “dedicated, conscious agent of the communist conspiracy,” in an iconic moment of movement history. But conservative leaders more typically embraced the passion and support of the Birchers at the grass roots. At its 1964 national convention, the GOP rejected a plank condemning the society, along with its conspiratorial beliefs. Birchers... served in Congress as Republicans in good standing, while conservative oilman... Fred Koch was a founding member of the society. Birchers took active part in Republican election campaigns and ran right-wing bookstores packed with conspiratorial treatises... Other Republicans rarely spoke up to debunk the Birch view that fluoride in drinking water was part of a communist plot to cause cancer or control Americans’ minds.
At times, the wild-eyed conspiracism came from the top. Vice President Spiro Agnew delivered speeches identifying a cabal of Washington- and New York-based power brokers who supposedly controlled the news media... At other times, understanding that they had to court the conspiracy-minded activists of “the base,” the party’s leaders went out of their way to confer legitimacy on extremists... Pat Robertson, who won four states in the 1988 Republican presidential primary contest... published The New World Order, holding that scheming government pooh-bahs were working to set up “world government, a world police force, world courts, world banking and currency, and a world elite in charge of it all.” He even suggested that President George H.W. Bush was complicit... Still, Republicans wanted votes and donations from Robertson’s acolytes, so Newt Gingrich, Oliver North, William Bennett, Jack Kemp, Jesse Helms and Dinesh D’Souza all happily spoke at his “Road to Victory” conferences. Sen. Bob Dole, a pillar of the Republican establishment and at the time a presidential candidate, told Robertson’s followers... “I am proud to stand up here and say that I’ve been awarded a 100 percent voting record... in 1995” from the Christian Coalition.
During the Clinton years, the crackpot theorizing became harder and harder to distinguish from the Republican Party itself. Conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife sent investigators to Arkansas to dig up dirt on the president’s past... Jerry Falwell, a leader of the religious right... started selling a $43 videotape that among other charges said Clinton was responsible for the deaths of “countless people.”
[...]
Thanks to years of GOP tolerance for surreal thinking on the right, conspiracy theories have moved from the fringe to the center... Research suggests that people who feel alienated from politics are more prone to thinking conspiratorially. Trump capitalized on that climate of suspicion.
[...]
Republican leaders... in the past... indulged these theories but never really espoused them. Today, elective officeholders embrace them openly, in the face of explicit counterevidence from the government they purport to run. National security officials have repeatedly warned... that Ukraine did not meddle in the 2016 election and that those who repeat the claim are advancing pro-Russian propaganda. Yet most Republican members of Congress now seem to believe this theory. Trump’s racism... and anti-Semitism... align well with old allegations that Jewish bankers and assorted globalists have enriched themselves while inflicting economic havoc on “the people,” as his closing 2016 television ad suggested.
Polarization has also made mainstream American culture hospitable to ideas once relegated to the margins. Voters have grown more tolerant of political leaders’ failings as long as they adhere to the correct ideological positions, opening a space for someone like Trump to win the presidency and then govern with the support of a minority of the electorate. And grass-roots opinion has shifted in favor of conspiracy theories, a pattern that both follows the cues of political leaders and incentivizes those leaders’ abasements. For instance, Twitter equips Trump to instantaneously air any theory, no matter how nutty, to raucous and affirming plaudits. Fox News also capitalizes on this shift to amplify Trumpian claims... It’s no wonder that... 30 percent of Republicans see Russia in a favorable light. 
[...]
Ultimately, Trump was the logical consequence of a posture followed for decades at the top echelons of the conservative movement.

Jeff VanderMeer & Cory Doctorow Discuss the Future of Sci-Fi & the World
Tumblr media
Twenty-five years ago, Cory Doctorow and Jeff VanderMeer both attended the Clarion Writers Workshop, the premier science fiction and fantasy writing program. Since that time, VanderMeer and Doctorow have each gone on to long literary careers. By chance, their new novels, Borne(VanderMeer) and Walkaway (Doctorow) are being published on the same date this year, April 25th, which got them to talking, which got us to publishing their conversation.
Jeff VanderMeer: Fresh-faced and eager as we both might seem, I’m calling it: we’re pretty much grandpas now. (Literally, too.) Looking back over the past quarter century, it’s pretty clear that a lot has changed. And a lot of it for the good. The genre boundaries are much more fluid now. I’m one of those continual label-evaders so this suits me fine. I’d prefer to shape-shift, in part because my interests and curiosity vectors are always changing. One way I think we are definitely alike is in adapting well to the new environment, if in very different ways.
Cory Doctorow: We’re in the midst of a curious era for nerdy subculture, which is something I’ve been involved with since I started taking the subway to Saturday D&D clubs when I was 9 years old. Back then, it was *really hard* to find other people who found genre sensibilities satisfying. The covers of paperbacks on buses became a recognition semaphore (“I see you are reading a John Wyndham novel; I too, have read of the Triffids!”) Networked communications brought subcultures together — counterculture fashion identities like goth and punk; out-of-mainstream political identities from anarcho-syndicalism to intersectional feminism to (alas) neo-fascism.
VanderMeer: Coming into Clarion, you were a Heinlein enthusiast and I was an Angela Carter devotee, and we didn’t so much clash as — as I recall — have a few discussions about it. But I was definitely young and arrogant, so have to imagine I was annoyingly vehement. Sorry about that. I also know that I’ve taken great pleasure in watching your career take off — I feel like we’re both survivors over a pretty long span now, though we’ve taken different paths.
Doctorow: No apologies needed! If you’re not abrasive at some point at Clarion, you’re probably not trying hard enough. (I’m sure I was!)
VanderMeer: Oh, you were. But it was a group of total eccentrics and I think the whole nature of throwing 18 strangers together — especially a bunch of introverts and weirdos — and expecting harmony is kind of absurd. As for Heinlein, though, I still don’t like his work. Do you still read him? It’s curious how he’s become invisible to readers recently, especially given some of his libertarian leanings would seem to match the times.
Doctorow: Heinlein invented and refined a lot of the field’s signature moves, and moreover was at the epicenter of a lot of high weird craziness in his “real life” — he was a socialist Upton Sinclair doorbell-ringer; a Crowley-adjacent polyamorous pioneer whose alcoholic “white witch” story-doctor wife took up with the recently discharged ex-Navy-man L. Ron Hubbard; a vicious racist who was certain he wasn’t. Today, he’s a litmus test of sorts. You can learn a lot about a person by what they think Heinlein was all about. I personally love the way that contemporary SF is engaging with him — Charlie Stross ripping into the guts of Friday with Saturn’s Children; John Varley using the juvies like Red Planet to savage GWB’s war on terror; and now Ian McDonald’s Luna books, a frontal assault on Randism by way of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It’s deeply kinky, taking all this problematic stuff and just *owning* the way it bent the field, using it to bend the field in the other direction.
VanderMeer: I want to get back to this idea of how the landscape has changed since we started our careers. On the negative side, it can be noisy and time-consuming in how writers are expected to engage on social media. But creatively I find it very positive in the sense that the fracturing of media and of hierarchies leads to all kinds of beautiful cross-pollinations. If there’s one thing I’ve been devoted to my whole career it’s been to breaking down barriers between speculative fiction and realism, if you will — in my fiction but also in the anthologies my wife Ann and I edit. For example, it was great to publish you in The Big Book of SF alongside Borges.
Doctorow: I think of it in terms of our communications tools, which always constrain the kinds of experiences we can have. When all you have is live performance, every live tale told is either a stage-play or a puppet show. Invent movies, and all the stories that had been shoehorned onto the stage (but really need to be movies) are liberated from stages and brought to the screen — meanwhile, all the tales that had lurked in potentia, unable to find any expression in the constraint of live performance, finally come to fruition. What’s left behind on-stage is irreducibly stage-like; it’s a purer expression of what you could only ever do onstage. And so on! Youtube gives us “shows” that are 19 seconds long, or 75 hours, things that couldn’t have lived on stage or cinema or TV screens.
The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk Ann and Jeff VanderMeer break down Sci-Fi’s many eras, icons and offshoots — from Jules Verne to William Gibson and…electricliterature.com
VanderMeer: I’m definitely thinking in terms of fabulist fiction this time around, but I’m also interested in the moral/ethical questions involved with biotech, against a backdrop of a scarcity scenario. I think that’s what’s beginning to play out now in the world, and I wanted to approach the present through the future in a more direct way than I was able to in the Southern Reach books.
As I read Walkaway, I’m struck by some similarities at the paragraph level in the way we both deploy biotech, but you’re of course working from a kind of post-climate-change scenario. I read your Wired essay about hope and dystopias, and I agree whole-heartedly that it’s important to conceive of hopeful futures — Borne is meant to convey a hopeful future, because we’re still in it. But I do wonder at what cost imagining hope comes, in terms of things that are uncontrollable, i.e., we cannot manipulate our environment to the extent necessary to reach a post-scarcity scenario right now without basically eating or burning all the biomass on the planet that is not ourselves. I’d like to think we can just go kind of post-post-capitalist and get there, but I’m not sure. I like your example of people sharing food during a disaster…but we all know there will also be complete bastards out there. We live in a world that’s full of bad people doing bad things, but also good people doing good things. But it’s good that my approach in Borne and yours in Walkaway are so different, because we need as many different possibilities and entry points as possible in such an urgent conversation.
Doctorow: I think that a signature stfnal move is to mix in some technological whoppers with some truths and hope that the reader doesn’t notice ’em, they’re protective coloration.

10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Embroidered Throw Pillows | Embroidered Throw Pillows
Kellyanne Conway, on a couch blowzy with abstract bandy pillows, told Bergen Record columnist Mike Kelly that we can all be surveilled by “microwaves that about-face into cameras.” This, according to one of Trump’s best acclaimed fabulists, is “just a actuality of avant-garde life.” Pardon me while I accept an aneurysm.

The adduce itself is laughable. No such allotment of tech exists, because why would anyone anytime appetite a Transformers-esque camera-wave? But the ambience is sinister. When asked about her boss’s allegations that he’d been wiretapped by Barack Obama—allegations which were fabricated with aught affirmation and accept been admired as baseless—Conway responded thusly:

The King Solomon's Mines Sandwich
Freed from the catacombs, Ol' Matty is now pursued by a vengeful M16 packing bear and has somehow used his "charms" to befriend a secret kingdom of hunters. Surprisingly civil, Ol' Matty decides to repay them with a Delicious Word Sandwich, regaling the story of King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard, which can only go well because it's not too colonialist. Idiot.
EPISODE NOTES:
Published in 1886 on a five shilling wager that he could write a story as good as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, H. Rider Haggard became the penultimate pioneer of what would become the lost world genre, which would go on to inspire The Man Who Would Be King, The Lost World and eventually even Indiana Jones. Now, we watch how Ol' Matty, who idolises Indy, dances around not associating himself with big game hunting. Dance, ya hunter, dance.
He tells the tale of King Solomon's Mines, the story of famed hunter Alan Quatermain and his friends travelling to the secret kingdom of Kukuanaland, fighting to return the rightful king to the throne and discovering the fabled diamond treasure. One of the original and archetypal old fashioned adventure stories that few could balk at, and yet Ol' Matty's new friends seem utterly outraged.
In a turn of events that was truly shocking, it seems this was a radical sect of the tribe from the story that were still loyal to the usurped king and his diabolical witch general, and thus it was that Ol' Matty had to make yet another hare brained, and bear pawed, escape.
Now, you may ask about the bear paws. He cut off the bears hands, the bear ate his other human hand, Matt sewed the paws on crudely and they have since been surgically integrated into his body proper thanks to the tribe's liquid diamond technology. He asked after the procedure, naturally, if new human hands were possible (they totally were). All the same, Ol' Matty has created a wonderfully delicious word sandwich with all the danger and mystery of Haggard's iconic lost world adventure, hunting through the jungles of history (bread), story (meat), characters (cheese), themes (sauce) and his final thoughts (seasoning). On the run from both the bear and the tribe, he may have forgotten to add salad. One step forward, two steps backward and into their awaiting spears? One can only hope.
King Solomon's Mines (1885) is a rollicking adventure by the English Victorian adventure writer and fabulist Sir H. Rider Haggard. It tells of a search of an unexplored region of Africa by a group of adventurers led by Allan Quatermain for the missing brother of one of the party, with startling imagery and visceral adventure around every corner. It is the first English adventure novel set in Africa, and is considered to be the genesis of the Lost World literary genre. Just keep the colonial/imperialist undertone in the back of the mind, taking the whole thing with a grain of salt. Note, add a little salt to sandwich.
Love stories? Love hearing about the tales of old with Ol' Matty but want to know them yourself? Want to join the Book Club Sandwich but don't have the time or desire to sit down and read? Well, you dolt, check out Audible, where you can drive to your destination and faraway lands all at once. P.S. Audible, please sponsor me. 
For more short stories like the one featured here, All Will Be Well by Yiyun Li, see The New Yorker either online or subscribe to have the magazine delivered for those delectable morning reads. You sponsor me too, New Yorker. Look at me GO.
I have only ever read the book with my own eyeballs so I can't personally vouch for any version on Audible, however there is an Audible exclusive, which are always exceptionally produced, narrated by Toby Stevens.

Seven Society Of Female Artists Tips You Need To Learn Now | society of female artists
Last month, a record-breaking hundred and twenty-seven women were affidavit in to the U.S. Senate and the Abode of Representatives. Now forty-four women accept taken over the walls of Gracie Mansion, the official home of the Mayor of New York but additionally “the people’s house” of New York City. The break is “She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York,” an aggressive exhibition inventively curated by the adolescent art historian Jessica Bell Brown, at the allurement of Chirlane McCray, the city’s Aboriginal Lady. Sixty paintings, sculptures, videos, prints, textiles, drawings, and photographs are installed throughout the formally appointed apartment on the aboriginal attic of the Federal-style house. The after-effects are adapted and unexpected. Museum staples (the Abstract Expressionist painter Lee Krasner, the columnist Cindy Sherman) allotment the date with ascent stars (the sculptor Simone Leigh, the category-defying Mickalene Thomas). Bell Brown additionally introduces some unsung heroines—including the Aboriginal Lady’s backward mother, Katharine Clarissa Eileen McCray, who sewed and abstract hundreds of alluring bolt dolls that she dubbed “Quashies,” in account of own mother’s West-African beginning name. Three are on display, apery her daughters, Chirlane, Cynthia, and Cheryl.
The ancient McCray’s labors of adulation acquisition a arrant analogue in “The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist,” a 1988 affiche by the Guerrilla Girls, an bearding aggregate of changeable artists, which hangs in Gracie Mansion’s ballroom. The aboriginal “advantage” is “Working after the burden of success.” Historically, of course, the allowance of obscurity accept been exponentially greater for women of color. One agitating moment in the exhibition is a black-and-white account by an alien columnist (was she a woman, too?), documenting the Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage in the aggregation of a arresting sculptural choir of cast-plaster abstracts that angle at accelerating heights to cumulatively advance the appearance of a harp. Commissioned for the 1939 World’s Fair, area it was put on display, the allotment was conceived to be casting in bronze, but the allotment was never secured, so it was destroyed already the fair ended. Beyond the pics-or-it-didn’t-happen desolation of the angel lies a adventure of #MeToo-style harassment, which Jill Lepore afresh brought to ablaze in an article and a consecutive book: the belled Joe Gould, a writer-fabulist, stalked Savage so relentlessly that she fled the city, in 1945, and died, forgotten, in 1962. (Happily, the New-York Historical Society will accessible a Savage attendant in May.)
The account of Savage hangs in the mansion’s Peach Room, abreast “Haven,” a agilely aureate painting by Elizabeth Colomba, from 2015, which portrays an abstract brace in the celebrated adjacency of Weeksville, Brooklyn. (Established in 1838, Weeksville was one of the aboriginal communities founded by chargeless African-Americans in the United States.) The august brace boring over their amateur at a cloud-clotted landscape: a storm recedes, dejected sky break through, achievement is on the horizon. The canvas hangs aloft a mantel on which a brownish baby of Eleanor Roosevelt gazes up, askew by her Weeksville neighbors. The cartoon is a Gracie Mansion fixture, not a allotment of the show, but this call-and-response is archetypal of Bell Brown’s active approach. In addition hasty cross-pollination, “Haven” hangs beyond from “Sun Spot,” a clamor of absorption corrective by Helen Frankenthaler, in 1954, in umber, russet, and black. This palette echoes that of Colomba’s painting, the acknowledged focal point of the room.
In the high-ceilinged ballroom, abreast the Guerrilla Girls poster, a vitrine is abounding with ephemera—campaign buttons, flyers, best editions of books—devoted to the incomparable, Brooklyn-born Shirley Chisholm, the aboriginal atramentous woman adopted to Congress. Not included is her acclaimed adduce “If they don’t accord you a bench at the table, accompany a folding chair.” Beyond the accessible ballroom, in the library, Bell Brown ups the ante on Chisholm’s admonition by installing two admirable Florence Knoll chairs, adipose in costly anthracite fabric. (The beat modernist, who is the abandoned decorative-arts artisan represented in “She Persists,” died on January 25th, at the age of a hundred and one, which lends the abandoned chairs an adventitious atramentous note.)

‘The Underground Railroad’ by Colson Whitehead wins 2017 Hurston/Wright award for fiction
New Post has been published on http://usnewsaggregator.com/the-underground-railroad-by-colson-whitehead-wins-2017-hurstonwright-award-for-fiction/
‘The Underground Railroad’ by Colson Whitehead wins 2017 Hurston/Wright award for fiction
Novelist Colson Whitehead won the 2017 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Fiction Award for “The Underground Railroad,” a novel that documents the life of a 15-year-old enslaved girl named Cora who escapes from a cotton plantation in Georgia, where life is hell. With a slave-catcher hunting her, she makes a harrowing flight north in search of freedom, traveling on a literal underground railroad made up of secret tracks, tunnels, engineers and conductors.
The Hurston/Wright judges described “The Underground Railroad,” which also won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award and the Carnegie Medal for Fiction, as a book of “remarkable craft and imagination.”
[Book World Review: The Underground Railroad ]
His award was among those presented Friday by the Zora Neale Hurston/ Richard Wright Foundation, which was founded in Washington in 1990 with a mission to ensure the survival of black writers and literature by black writers.
Whitehead’s attention to the pain of slavery and “the current state of race in this country is unprecedented,” the judges said. The novel, which was a New York Times Bestseller, “confirms Whitehead’s place in the African American canon” of great authors.
Carla Hayden (Matt McClain/The Washington Post)
The Washington Plaza hotel in Northwest Washington was bustling Friday with literary stars, publishing icons, writers, poets, editors and essayists. More than 200 people attended the annual gala, including Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who won the Ella Baker Award that honors writers and arts activists who advance social justice.
Carla Hayden, who made history in 2016 when she became the first woman and first black person sworn in as Librarian of Congress, was presented with the North Star Award. Poet Haki Madhubuti won the Madam C.J. Walker Award, which honors exceptional innovation in sustaining black literature.
The 2017 award for nonfiction went to “Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso: A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence in America,” by Kali Nicole Gross. The book focuses on a “whodunit” murder case in 1887 Philadelphia, after a beheaded torso was discovered in a pond. The mysterious torso defied race, appearing neither white nor black. Gross researched detectives’ notes and trial transcripts to unravel the story of Hannah Mary Tabbs, a black woman who refused to live within the confines of stereotypes.
“Dubbed a ‘murderess,’ Tabbs and the torso case would be front-page news for months because it unearthed otherwise forbidden subjects such as adultery, sex and domestic violence,” Gross wrote. “The victim was thought to be her lover, but Tabbs blamed an 18-year-old mixed-race teenager named George Wilson for the crime. Their fates became intertwined within the brutally racist criminal justice system of the time.”
The Legacy Award for Debut Fiction went to “Damnificados,” by JJ Amaworo Wilson, who the judges said created a “fabulist and gritty dystopia that is nearly allegorical in its portrayal of the dispossessed.”
The award for poetry went to “Bestiary,” by Donika Kelly, whose “plain-spoken way of proceeding is a guise for sharp truths that leave readers wounded,” the judges said.
“What beast// will your blade free next?” Kelly wrote. “What call will you loose/ from another woman’s throat?”
The Award for College Writers went to: Shakarean Hutchinson, an MFA student at Cornell University, who won the fiction prize for her story “How to Kill Pigs.”
Cheswayo Gabriel Mphanza, an MFA student at Rutgers University, won the poetry prize for his collection of “3 Poems.”
Finalists in the fiction category were: “The Loss of All Lost Things,” by Amina Gautier and “Another Brooklyn,” by Jacqueline Woodson.
Nonfiction finalists were: “The Social Life of DNA: Race, Reparations, And Reconciliation After the Genome,” by Alondra Nelson and “The Wake: On Blackness and Being,” by Christina Sharpe.
Poetry finalists were: Francine J. Harris for “play dead” and Phillip B. Williams who wrote “Thief in the Interior.”

Highlights of Mike's latest letter to me
For those who are new and don't know who Mike Rogers is *cracks knuckles*:
he was Phil's guitar tech/roadie through the making of Pyromania, through most of the making of Hysteria
He lived with the guys and was friends with them for years
he is basically the Forrest Gump of Def Leppard (as in he was there for all these huge events yet no one seems to know)
He also wrote a book called Fabulist Icons and you can search on my blog for all things Mike-related
he also has a Fabulsit Icons facebook page where he posts articles and never before seen photos and stories of DL
Mike and I have been pen pals for the past 2 years because I sent him a letter after reading his book (@ballistic-lipstick-dream-machine got tangled up in this too)
he's basically our rock and roll grandpa
Mike's also been in a few TV specials for Leppard on REELZ channel if you can find those anywhere
when I talked to Rick in April, we briefly talked about Mike, and Rick wanted me to get Mike's address to him because they'd been separated for decades and Rick never knew how to get a hold of him (necessary to understand some things in this post)
ANYWAY- obviously I'm not gonna post the whole thing bc that's between me and him, but I do want you guys to hear some of this bc I love him:
it's obvious his favorite song from DSH is Liquid Dust bc he quoted it in the first paragraph
also he wrote nearly 4 FULL PAGES
Mike writes in such a romantic and poetic way, like he said "your letter resting upon a William 1V wine table." *chefs kiss*
him talking about the Hershey show and saying "did you go to a Hershey bar for refreshments? Yes, I can be that silly."
him asking me if I will study photography and me having a crisis about it internally
Shakespeare quotes
he loved the story of Rick noticing me and Rachel in the crowd at Hershey
"I am quite sure Rick recognized you." I literally threw the letter and SCREAMED
"He and the rest of operation Def 'do' look into audiences at every show- if something strikes a note, it will be remembered."
he said he hasn't heard from Rick yet :( not surprised but a lil sad
Mike saying when he went to Dublin during covid to do the interviews for Reelz he "near had a mental breakdown" bc he felt unprofessional and so out of touch
"Your comments about our Def Leppard connections has touched me in a way, er, taken me by surprise. I was not expecting a surge of emotion such as I experienced through your letter." catch me crying ;O;
I keep forgetting Mike was a guitar tech for Pink Floyd's The Wall
him talking about how he used to live at his sister's house and would arrive "at all hours, sit in her kitchenette, have a joint and then bed down on the fleecy sitting room rugs."
him saying "I just plunged in headlong, loved Phil,"
him saying he would "meet the intimate families of the band when hopping back and forth in Sheffield during rehearsals"
him saying "Can I have a little break and make a cuppa tea?" and then putting a big paragraph break
him proceeding to talk about Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead for the next 2 paragraphs
him saying he's never listened to Slang or anything else post-Hysteria apart from DSH
him thinking that Sav is "making a much greater contribution to what is going forth than many realize"
"his influence on much of the current material has added the spice that captain Clark used to deliver to a song"
"Sav's creativity is all over this material. Not just as a player, but as a writer"
"The last time Sav and I exchanged emails was when he gave the green light, so to speak, on my 'Icons' project. He quipped on one occasion, 'I would write more but I am trying to find an augmented fifth for a song in the works'. Not your usual heavy rock musician banter."
(insert mini critique of DSH being awesome here)
(insert Mike being contacted by what became of his old record label to see if he was still alive here)
Mike wanting to send me this interview with his old label
"What must you think of me? You started this, Ma'am, with your letter and all this 'stuff' came barreling along, unstoppable."
"I loved your letter and I attach evidence that 'I' kept your last Christmas card on top of my copier" (on the back of the last sheet there is a photocopy of my Snowman Joe christmas card design that I sent him last year)
"I hope this epistle lightens your day Rachel" yes yes it did ;-; <3
Mike saying he was contacted by the editor of Definitely because he has the only known image of Rick and Jeff Rich (Status Quo drummer who was Rick's support drummer for his first live shows after his accident) at the Limerick Savoy in 1986 during the 'Live Rehearsal dates'
him saying I write really well and have "good words in good style" and "I like it a lot!"
"very best wishes, as ever, Mike"
