Gatherers,

Raise a glass to the latest addition to my clan - Alexandra Hepburn, born
yesterday morning, mother and daughter both fine.

Cheers,

Jamie

Chomski thinks his shit through, considers ramifications & knows the world
revolves around pros

& cons, not ideals. I think Rimbaud is a tad keen to throw 'right-on'-isms
about, relying on slogans,

etc. Nevertheless, I think his idealistic view is more tempered these days,
which appeals to me. I

think more of us truth- searching, wrong-hating, esoteric types identify
with Rimbaud, 'cos he's really

just a Pub Philosopher, whereas Chomsky *seems* to actually know how the
world works!

 

People will always buy shit from celebrities, no matter what their politics,
or common sense in this

case.

Not really what I was referring to, and I don't really see them as
exceptional people in the context of them corresponding with people who
write to them, although appreciated. 
I just find Chomski's work a little more comprehensive and prolific, in
relation to Rimbaud. 
I agree on the absurdity of the sale.
