  1. My favorite thing about visiting Ditch Records in Victoria, B.C. is that I get to piss in front of Frank Zappa.
    While HE shits.

  5. The Censor Keeps a Copy

    Twenty years ago, give or take, a friend told me a story he expected me to admire. He was a Latter-day Saint who worked in technology, and he was, as I understood it then, the bishop of his ward, an unpaid office the church gives to laymen who keep their day jobs, so he kept a company's hours all week and presided over a congregation on Sundays. There was a Mormon bookstore he went into often, and one day he walked in and found a new display for Goosebumps, the paperbacks with the dripping green logo about haunted masks, a ventriloquist's dummy with a mind of its own, and a werewolf in a Florida swamp. He spoke to the owner. The owner told him the books were selling well and that those sales were keeping the store alive. My friend pressed him on content, judged the whole series blasphemous, an invitation to the occult at a child's price, and let it be understood that if the titles stayed on the shelf a report would go to the stake president. A week later he came back. The books were gone, the owner was distant and cold, and my friend bought a couple of books, in his own phrase, to make up the difference. He told me this the way another man might tell you he had coached his kid's team to a championship. He was proud. The word I have settled on, twenty years later, is forensic: he had investigated, prosecuted, and won, and he walked out of that store on the high of it. […]

  6. My young teen daughter is now listening to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Guns N Roses. All her friends are into 90s alternative rock.

    I guess I now feel the same way my parents did when I listened to the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, and Dr John when I was a kid.

    Still, it is very strange when my daughter is singing Nirvana. She is also shocked I know all the lyrics.

    I am still on a mission to get her to like Captain Beefheart, but that i feel is an uphill road. Maybe start with Zappa.
