So it’s kinda like school shootings. Everyone laments the deceased’s passing, talks about what a wonderful person they were, how great their music was, and then it’s business as usual.Meanwhile, what kind of outlaw ties up with corporations, doing sponsorships? If it’s about image, your credibility is immediately shot.

Donald Glover was on "Community," is in the second season of his own highly-lauded series "Atlanta" and has one of the longest running hits on the chart with "Redbone," a cut from his THIRD Glassnote album and still...Most people had no idea who he was.Until now.

i'm going to take the fact "no idea who he was" isn't in all-caps as some kind of major lefsetzian breakthrough.

You don't want to be second best, you don't want to be a booty call, you want to be PRIMARY, but even though you say no, that does not mean you still don't hurt, still don't desire, still don't fantasize.

Or you could be the inane publishing industry, which killed e-books so it could maintain its old numbers. Amazon wanted to push the industry into the future, GROW the business, with all titles under ten bucks. But NO! (Where is John Belushi when you need him?) Now e-books cost as much as, and sometimes even MORE, than physical. The book industry thinks it won, but it lost
TBF, editors and publishers and cover designers and researchers and lawyers and manuscript-readers and acqusitions staff and secretaries and software licenses and rent and electricity and office equipment wouldn't need to be paid if the inane publishing industry just stopped existing and every single book was text-only and published & sold by Amazon for $9.99, of which 99c goes to the author.

Your eyes would have bugged out. Girls in bikinis. Short ones, tall ones, big ones, small ones. So many fish in the sea you became inured to them. I didn’t know breasts came in that many shapes and sizes. That you could be that thin and be so naturally endowed.

holy shit the entire piece that katherine quoted contains enough Lefgems to keep this thread going for a year
...the assembled multitude was a rainbow of colors, as many Latinos as whites, maybe more, blacks, multicultural people, [...]But it was not scary, AT ALL! Bump into someone by accident and no one took offense. With that many people in attendance you could get scared, think of violence, but there was none of that, it was strangely calm.But in VIP most of the people were white. So we’re still segregated, albeit by economic opportunity and success.

the latest letter is....a lot to take in
Yesterday I played Shawn Colvin’s “Steady On,” of which I had an advance cassette, I played it that week in Minnesota after my ex-wife left, she said she’d call when I landed, but she never did. And when we finally connected I told her not to pick me up at the airport, I just could not be disappointed once more.
also a possible Minnesota connection!!!! woah

Bump into someone by “accident,” just to test if they’re “naturally endowed,” and no one takes offense (or at least can catch you as you slip away through the crowd)

I am deeply insulted that there's no way I can buy negative tickets to this tour, ie tickets that force a venue to hold a space open, and where the money paid for them goes to anyone else but the people on stage.

Flom, who is the Founder and CEO of Lava Records, Lava Music Publishing, and Lava Media, LLC., and previously served as Chairman and CEO at Atlantic Records, Virgin Records, and Capitol Music Group, is personally responsible for launching acts such as Lorde, Katy Perry, Kid Rock, and Greta Van Fleet
look, he might have waited a decade and four albums after teenaged Kid Rock got himself support slots for BDP to sign him, but Flom's taxes paid for the road Rock drove on to get to those shows. and he drank some New Zealand wine once, which means that he built the high school where Lorde won a talent contest. his grandmother made him go to church on Christmas, and gave him a dollar to put in the collection plate, so he basically funded Katy Hudson's Christian music career eight years before Katy Perry signed to Capitol as her third major label deal.
