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.
