Yeah that doesn't make a difference, it's just a more specific form of saying 'that's lame'

Just started a five-book re-read of the recently deceased Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Looking forward to awakening some memories of my first experience with this, um, pentology.

I could read those out of nostalgia, but the ones after would probably be a slog. Nothing really happens and it turns into fanfic basically. Can't read any of her other stuff cause literally all of her characters are versions of her who like the same music and art and won't shut up about them. Even her descriptions of what it's like mentally and emotionally to be a vampire are just descriptions of bipolar disorder which I'm sure she has.

Yeah me too. I never read anything through after MTD: I tried Violin, bloody hated it, so depressing. Pandora didn't interest me, never bothered with Marius or Armand or any of the others. Never read her witch cycle or mummy cycle, and have no interest in her "life of Christ" books. So like you say, those five and that's more or less it. I might at some point read the "new" Lestat books, but I wonder what is left after you've met God and the Devil? Got to be a comedown after that?

I devoured Firesign Theatre's catalog in my teens. The Bozos LP is one of my all-time favorite albums. And I have 25 of their records on my server and The Big Mystery Joke Book in PDF format, but I wasn't familiar with this text. Looking it up I see it was just published on December 6th. I do, however, have Pink Hotel Burns Down, the liner notes of which state that it is a recording from October 29, 1967 - The First Firesign Theatre "Magic Mushroom" Live Broadcast.
I'll have to pick up the new book!

Been a fan for over 50 years and have all of the books and recordings available when they were originally released (including many, many hours of Radio Free Oz and the "...Joke Book you mentioned. Behind me, are even VHS tapes of their early work). Drove some people cRaZy in school back then, but most of them would come over to the house just to listen to them again and again. This is just the latest release you can get. I think I have everything they've ever offered on their webpage: t-shirts, bumper stickers, license plate holder, books, various collections, etc - incl. some that aren't even there anymore. If you consider buying just one thing, then I'd recommend their "Duke Of Madness Motors" collection! Also, the ...Magic Mushroom book comes with a DVD-ROM too. Check Bandcamp as well.

Which introduced me to her unsettling views on ****ing children. A very underaged teenage girl from the witch books had ****ed the very much adult dude protagonist but it was just framed as him cheating on his wife, who was related to the girl btw, but the wife forgave him cause he was a good guy or whatever the **** and the girl was a ho who ****ed everyone. Then later I remember an interview with Anne Rice where she said something about how age is just a number and some kids are just mature for their age which gave me the impression she'd been molested when she was younger but thought it was fine.
