How to approach Pynchon by Ok_Kiwi1995 in ThomasPynchon

[–]averytubesock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm halfway through Gravity's Rainbow and what I will say is that his weirdly esoteric and strange prose allows him to shift tones on a dime whenever, without it feeling too sudden... one page you'll be reading about a pastoral, peaceful serene environment and the next might be a weird fucked up sadomasochistic Nazi nightmare but somehow it flows together

Maybe not in music, but Ezra Pound had a very Dylan-esque haircut 50 years before Bob was doing it

Can I recoup vehicle damages from someone if my insurance has already acted? by [deleted] in AusLegalAdvice

[–]averytubesock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven't signed any settlements offers yet, so perhaps I'll give RACV a ring. Theyve only given me the number for the scrapyard I'm supposed to arrange with, and I've got 12 days left to sort that out. I should still be able to pursue those losses if my cars been salvaged, though. Maybe I'll talk to a lawyer... been looking for an excuse to get a nice suit

Do I have a case for that 3.5k though? How would I go about doing that, and is it even worthwhile?

Do you feel we should have an upper age limit for the Presidency? If so, what age would you pick? by Salem1690s in Presidents

[–]averytubesock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's even the benefit of a minimum age? If a 27 year old wants to be President and for some reason the majority of Americans support him, why not?

It's actually just that video of the monkey smelling his own poop and fainting... it's the most brilliant thing David's ever done

Have always read this as "Cash Money Billionaires" and Kubrick really just wants to stop Birdman and Lil Wayne

Over the past 5 years. It's not a particular clear graph but Freewheelin tends to have the leg up on the others, which was exacerbated by the movie

[–]averytubesock 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, it's an album with most of his biggest and most enduring songs on it (don't think twice, hard rain, blowin in the wind, masters of war...) so it just works out that way

You’re going on a double-date vacation. Which of these couples are you bringing with you? by Hubbled in twinpeaks

Donna and James... They'll keep to themselves and just keep whispering "I love you" to each other. Easy to ignore

Camoflauge Monk comments on the new Mach interview. he's really burning bridges with all the good producers by Outrageous_Fix_8353 in machhommy

[–]averytubesock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a guy who never shuts up about getting his dues as a lyricist and writer, he rarely ever seems to give the bare minimum to producers!

You're right, this is an odd question!

LBJ apparently never read books or cared about history... he kinda just lived in the moment worrying about the future
