Bernie's book
Re: Bernie's book
The only book that matters
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

He's going to use an unreadable font on every page, I just know it.

Re: Bernie's book
Incredible cover art.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

The last book on the shelf
Re: Bernie's book
God, I really didn't think he'd match his website style THAT closely.
I hope there is some level of cohesiveness to his book. His website is basically gibberish to me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Bernie's book
Your second sentence probably answers your first. The idea that he's going to pull it all together would be one lucky blind squirrel.

Re: Bernie's book
It really does look like a lazy publish-on-demand piece of crap, no? And yet I'll probably have to buy it.Kory wrote: ↑19 Mar 2018, 5:23pmAs soon as I saw the cover, I thought it was a joke by an IMCT'er.

Re: Bernie's book
I might get it if it ends up at Half Price Books due to publisher overstock *and* it’s 50% off coupon Sunday.

Re: Bernie's book
Mark, with whom I worked with on WE ARE THE CLASH, has already ordered a copy -- so I'll just wait for him to weigh in on whether it's worthwhile. It really depends on the approach -- if we get full scans of all those flyers, posters and T-shirts in living color, that's one thing. If it ends up copping the eye-straining BR website, then...not so much. Time will tell.

Are you kidding?
That's like $50 'Merrican.
That's some chutzpah, Bernie.

Re: Bernie's book
I'll wait to get the feedback on this one. As tempting as it would be for the cover alone and have a physical manifestation of his website, it's expensive for something that is largely nonsensical.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Mar 2018, 5:35pmIt really does look like a lazy publish-on-demand piece of crap, no?

Re: Bernie's book
Cover looks like it was bashed out on Print Shop circa 1992. Maybe production was outsourced to some cut rate German studio...Kory wrote: ↑19 Mar 2018, 5:23pmAs soon as I saw the cover, I thought it was a joke by an IMCT'er.
