Man of the Year 2008
December 31st, 2008 by Gnat
Arthur Magazine and poet Charlie Potts did a nice little write up:
So what’s everyone doing for NYE? I can’t find it online, but I’d highly suggest reading the wonderful Lester Bangs article on NYE (included in the Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung collection), titled appropriately “New Year’s Eve.” It pretty much sums up how I’ve always felt about this holiday. I’ll leave you with the opening line:
“On New Year’s Eve of 1972 I attended a great party thrown by someone I didn’t know and inadvertently fell into a protracted conversation with this nearsighted social worker about 20 or 25 who kept babbling about his Volkswagen until I finally had to say: ‘Wait a minute. Are you telling me that the owning of a Volkswagen is a social, or a political act?’”
Be safe y’all and have a good one.
