Today’s substack is a review of a new collection of Irish short stories set in Dundalk, about schoolboys Dixon, McGurk and ‘meself’ by @thispersona - For All We Know We Don’t.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
Thank you to The Lovely Eggs book club for this review of Saltburn.
‘A humourous book of interlinked short stories, aligned, perhaps with Vonnegut and Brautigan but British.’
Vonnegut and Brautigan ☺️

@theneedledrop Your arrogance is off the charts. You will be remembered as the guy who came around at the time Pitchfork gave that Kanye album 10/10, and proceeded to tout unimaginative hip hop, punk, and pop queens for the T-shirt Generation.
@theneedledrop 'More mind-bending' 'Better prog' ???
You sound like a 14 year old. By all accounts you have lost reason. Look forward to seeing you walk back these rickety assertions in the coming years.

Not my favorite of theirs, but a legitimate case for the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” echelon of 90s alternative rock songs 🐐
Happy #PrideMonth from The Lodger, Me and Mickie James, all the staff at The Flamingo Hotel, all the visitors to Saltburn and, most importantly, You.
25 years I’ve been putting gay/queer fiction out there, being positive, vying for visibility. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
If I may- in my estimation- #WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.
@JonMalin You're either doing your usual trolling thing (like a billion bitter shut-ins), or you are simply terribly uninformed, sir. May you stay in your lane for safety's sake.
@EthanVanSciver Truly awful. Leave Grok to the morons. Don't cheapen yourself and your gifts. After looking at that shit, my appreciation of the original artwork has diminished.
