2. chelydra wrote: Ahead of his time, an anarchist, a curmudgeon, a nasty man, and one of the all-time great American thinkers. Never much in fashion except among some 60s radicals (like my brother, who was his friend), and now almost erased from history.

4. chelydra wrote: If I hadn't met him I probably would have read his books. (Sontag read first, and met later, so she got hooked.)

6. chelydra wrote: Artificial tan. Here's a cool trick: find a B&W photo that's been processed as a color pic. Swipe it, and boost the saturation and contrast to the max. Behold: weird colors! But don't tell a soul.

19. chelydra wrote: Agree with Normal on Goodman's bad habits. I would quote from memory from the speech he gave a B.U., but it wouldn't be suitable for a family site. The likewise went awry, so this personality isn't really his.
20. chelydra wrote: (Likeness was auto-corrected to likewise.) Google images has a photo of PG with pipe and eyeglasses, with a rather cold gaze looking right through you, or past you. That's the look (directed past me) that turned me off him permanently.
21. chelydra wrote: But as Sontag opined, the best that was in him went into his writings. The real life personality (and nasty habits) were just leftover dregs.
