Wow man a lot of great stuff in here. Glad your enjoying bluesky I'll make sure to follow you in a few weeks once those sign up codes are everywhere. Always love a good "no Homers" reference, though the Simpsons joke that has been living in my head recently was when the football team came back from losing the big game and a mob is there to attack them and overturn the plane.
I liked your 'old city surpassed' observation, and the short sentences you used to describe the dicey part of town. I'm a little surprised you do the WHCD, since the job already eats up much of your time but good on you sticking to the grind. As someone whose read the Bible for non and religious reasons I appreciate the plotz link.
If I get smith's book I'll make sure to email him I got it on your rec so you can get the brownie points lol. Deus x sounds right up my alley and I'll see if I can find it at my local shop.
I first listened to Carlin bout 20 years ago and had the same reaction you did. I felt Stewart's worst bits embodied that, though there was one he did on food stamps during the tea party era where he transcended that and I found that maybe he had stumbled on something better style wise.
Very much gonna check out John Connors album before its all we're hearing over cb radios. BTW the executive decision reference had me thinking of my favorite line from an ebert review about the film "segal's best film if only for the fact he's barely in it". Hope next week is fun!
