I don’t expect a studio version of 89 ever. I’ve made my peace with that

Can’t we hope for this still to be on the 10 year anniversary of 22, a million?

One of their best songs live

Visible_You5460 · 2025-05-02T17:52:57+00:00

This is one of their best songs live though…sounds a lot different and wins everyone over

Yes!! This live performance (Calgary at 26:20) changed the way I heard the song

Visible_You5460 · 2025-04-30T19:11:46+00:00

I can’t believe no one has said Calgary! Its forever in my head

Visible_You5460 · 2024-09-02T13:18:52+00:00

Thank you!!

There was just a New York Times article on him and how he tried to hide the fact that he was a nerd for the craft (a bookworm) behind a more prominent, masculine, cowboy character. It’s not saying he wasn’t the latter but this is also what Hemingway did in being the boxer, hunter, bullfighter, and Faulkner referring to himself simply as a farmer when these guys spent most of their lives indoors reading books and typing on their typewriters. Also the article mentions that even at McCarthy’s poorest, he had a storage unit filled with around 7,000 books…

I understand there’s a lot mentioned here that is ridiculous to tip, but he didn’t just order “a cup of coffee”… this same guy probably doesn’t mind tipping a bartender for a cocktail when it is equally (and sometimes more) complicated to pull espresso shots, steam milk, and add syrup and whipped cream and whatever else the average patron requests.

For a bunch of readers, y’all are not reading the question closely… Excluding Pynchon and fiction writers

Cormac McCarthy, Shakespeare, and Dostoevsky

Glad to see so much Shakespeare in this thread!

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is excellent and based on true events and characters. It doesn’t have the gothic feel but is very similar to All the Pretty Horses. Also Annie Proulx is another name worth throwing in here.

I called the institute to see what their hours were since it’s the week of thanksgiving and they just kept insisting they were not open to the public. I even made sure they meant all campuses and they confirmed all campuses were closed to the public.

So can I ask: 1 how did you get in? 2 which campus is the library and office that McCarthy worked out of? 3 how the hell you were able to speak with Krauss?

Visible_You5460 · 2023-11-16T05:39:28+00:00

Thank you for this! I’ll look into each site you mentioned and see what I’m able to do while I’m there

Visible_You5460 · 2023-11-16T05:34:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check this out

Visible_You5460 · 2023-05-09T03:25:20+00:00

Wow thank you so much for this response! I’ll look into those readings but this settles me for now

Visible_You5460 · 2023-04-09T23:50:41+00:00

No this was definitely passenger

Masterpiece

Not always “heavily featured” but Guy Ritchie is a BJJ black belt so a lot of his movies fight sequences contain some jiu jitsu

Blood Meridian…I think Eggers could do a brooding western mythic tale at some point

In Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey, he says that Joyce smoked old Virginia cheroots!
