You Must Remember This | Podcast | Infinite Guest Podcast Network
The best book I’ve read all summer is this podcast:
Karina Longworth’s “You Must Remember This” – and specifically the incredible TEN PART series she’s been doing on Charles Manson and the culture of Hollywood in the late sixties.
Part 10 of 10 drops tomorrow. Subscribe now and listen to all of it right now or I don’t even know what to say.
Many thanks to Teagan Knoblich for interviewing me for her radio show at Minnesota State university, Mankato. The 20-minute show is archived here and includes two short readings and a brief discussion of the casino biz. Check it out.

This is how an ‘80s kid celebrates his birthday. #halp
One of the surprises to come out of my research for the book
I’m collaborating on with Keith Morris is this little gem: In 1979 Black Flag
played a show at Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach, CA. They got the gig by
telling the promoter they were a light jazz band that played Fleetwood Mac
covers. Naturally the crowd hated them and the stories of the near-riot that
broke out are legendary, especially in Manhattan Beach where I lived for a
number of years. I didn’t realize until very recently that this show took place
on July 22—my birthday. Rip it up while
you can, brothers and sisters. AS my friend JJ used to say, we’re here for a good time, not for a long time.
Great interview in BOMB with Magnus Mills a novelist and full-time bus driver who has recently completed a book about competing record collecting societies. An excerpt:
MB How does a writer like you end up as a bus driver?
MM All sorts of people end up as bus drivers. I was talking to a guy at my garage this morning, and it turned out he used to be in a moderately successful ’80s band that had a couple of hits and supported Blur on their first tour. Now he’s a bus driver.
