I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.įrom hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on.

Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (‘It’s a piece of cake!

My next traverse through Atlas Shrugged was a little before 1980. Also, it was 1968, for Heaven’s sake, and I perceived the upheavals of the time (with a degree of naïveté and wrongheadedness I find breathtaking at this remove) as a sovereign antidote to the concentration of power and oppression of the individual, which would set things aright long before productive people began to heed Galt’s call to shed the burden of supporting their sworn enemies.

In the review, I noted that what struck me most in reading the book multiple times over the span of more than four decades, was how prescient it was in predicting the social and political trends that played out over the period. This was my fourth time reading the novel: the first was in the summer of 1968, the second in the late 1970s, and the third in 2010, when I wrote a lengthy review of my impressions. A couple of days ago, I finished re-reading Altas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This year’s Eisner award ceremony was held at the San Diego Comic Con on the night of July 22, 2022.

By and large she has met it by delivering a book that will provoke much thought-as well as just provoke.

At her best she writes with subtlety and flair, but at her devotions the language inevitably takes a turgid turn. She might nevertheless have done more justice to herself and to her subjects (and readers) had she managed more frequently to escape the Foucauldian cloisters and given freer rein to her own judgements: certainly Schwan has the necessary instinct and sensibility.

KimmelRead NowThese lessons will lay a whole new foundation for the expansion of the Regency romance genre. LaQuette’s amazing Critical Lens class showed us both the importance of writing fully-developed diverse characters and the hard work entailed in doing so.
