... I deeply value only two men, Rabelais and Byron, the only two who have written in a spirit of malice toward the human race and with the intention of laughing in its face. What a tremendous position a man occupies who places himself in that relation to the world!--G. Flaubert

I'm a modest person. I try not to pat myself on the back too much. But after last night's
@bestshow4life
I felt so excited by how much fun I had going back and forth with
@scharpling
that I couldn't sleep. It's been 15 years of pure joy. I'm so grateful.

This is sad news. Avalanche Bob was one of my favorite callers to
@bestshow4life
. He was an original who went down swinging. The last time we spoke I asked him if he had ever gone snowboarding. I hope he's somewhere snowboarding, yodeling, and tirelessly expanding his brand.

I'll always remember Avalanche Bob's first call. We were all floored and excited by this call.

1. Coleslaw. Homemade, not that ubiquitous coleslaw most supermarkets carry. There's a deli in Bayonne that makes the creamiest coleslaw I've ever eaten. It's almost like a cabbage pudding. Delish!

Ran into Captain Bayonne this morning on the way to the bar. "Hello, Mr.Lisk." I was honored that he remembered who I was but deep down I wondered if those would be the last words I would ever hear one day.

428. New Day Rising/Hüsker Dü. I like this lp more than Zen Arcade. Blasphemy! What can I say? It's leaner and meaner. Plus, it's got New Day Rising, The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill, I Apologize, Celebrated Summer, Terms of Psychic Warfare, and Books About UFOs.

I thought The Dirt was going to be about, well, dirt; fascinated as a child by its many colors and textures (I loved to plunge my hands in it!) I've always longed to commingle with the substance that never failed to delight. Imagine my dismay upon learning it's about Motley Crue.

There it is again, the moon. So predictable, so stupid. There it is again, two beams of light from lower Manhattan reminding us of the cruelty and stupidity of mankind. Can you imagine a beam of light for every cruel and stupid act? The brightness would blot out the sun.

Was shooting a bootleg Cameo in Hudson County Park when I was interrupted by five of Bayonne's finest on bicycles. My gesticulating caught the attention of a remote surveillance camera. They thought I was up to no good but when I explained what I was doing they thought even less.

Thanks for the kind words, Tom. I can't thank you enough for allowing me a creative outlet. And since you've always set a high standard, it pushes me to do better. That said, my Marketing Team is urging me to retweet this tomorrow morning when more people are likely to see it.

The Man With the Golden Arm is on TCM On Demand. In it, Frank Sinatra shows us how to kick heroin: remove all sharp objects, lock yourself in a room, scream, and roll around on the floor. In other words, how I spend most of my evenings at home.

434. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain/Pavement. Best band of the 90s? They have to be contenders. This was considered a "commercial breakthrough" but they're still a bunch of funny weirdos (minus Gary Young). Cut Your Hair, Gold Soundz, and Range Life were the "hits."

Rewatched Crumb on Criterion. Not as fun as I remembered it. Maybe because I'm closer to Charles's despair. The scene with Robert, Charles, and their mother still kills though. Too bad they never had a podcast.

My mother was an old school pot banger on New Year's eve. So I grabbed a pot and a spoon and banged away at midnight. I thought I would be alone but I was pleasantly surprised when a neighbor emerged to bang along.
