Gioia's an interesting guy.

I enjoyed his book on music history.

And, of course, the irony.

I studied a lot from his brother in school.

Ted's no slouch, either.

Good piece.

I could have appreciated writing letters by hand back to family I'll probably never see again. I'm not so big on weekly phone calls about excruciating details of the day to day. Nowadays no matter where you move, you exist in the same world, more or less. That's a shame. Would be nice to feel like other worlds are available.

I prefer my worlds to not be ridden with death threats from mentally ill Trump haters. It's sad what this place has turn into, as we've allowed the Trump hatred to continue unabated.

It’s the price of freedom.

Good article, and visual. Ironically I had to stop myself as I began to scroll quickly through the article just reading the bold section headers. Doh.

My grandpa used to write us letters when I was kid. I wouldn't mind taking that in a different directions when I'm at that age and perhaps type letters using a typewriter. Not just to be weird, but the idea that every letter was intentionally pressed down and inked onto the page seems intriguing. Similar to playing a record instead of selecting an MP3 link. Intentionality might have the same functional result, but means a bit more...
