Book Quote

[running4home]

a while back in the book thread i mentioned a quote that i would look for here it is

 

i couldn't post it on that thread cause i was last to post and it wouldn't let me edit

 

"Looking back on it I doubt that I would have bothered with the book had I to do it all again. I think the charm of the manifestos, and why so many people read them every month, was that people were forced to wait to see what would be next. I think the book is more a memento that people can acquire to remind them of that feeling of expectation. I wrote the majority of them in a little room the size of a closet in a bachelor suite that was the width of two adults laying down head to feet. Looking back on them now, no wonder I sounded like I was off my rocker."

LOL! That's familiar. I love it! Lol again. It explains so much.

i actually liked reading the book. i like the lil story about watching to destruction of the world from a kiddie pool with beautiful women and some sunglasses.

i'm re-reading it again it never gets old and being in a differn't part of life even by a month gives the stories new meaning and they are hard to get sometimes

[mg_forlife]

I flipped through it a few days ago and read a couple of stories.

 

I couldn't put it down when I bought it, I stayed up until sunrise ... And started reading it again as soon as I got up. Great book.

[miscellaneous]

I'm read it twice through, so far, and I plan on reading it again next year. I've also loaned it to several people, but no one else seems to getit.

I think it really helps to have a good background of Matt and his music to really appreciate it.

[miscellaneous]

Ya, I think you're quite right.

[ToadMan]

Does the music background the book, or does the book background the music. Consider the Night Opus, and Jenny's Song... The Night Opus is clearly a more complete story...

 

Peace

[miscellaneous]

I've been wondering that myself . . . Jenni killed her dad with her car . . . Also, I think it's ditches on the long road home, that sort of parallels Alabama Motel Room.

i think the storys come first then the music

 

i think its one of his methods of writing songs, quite cool i think

Paris Hilton’s Vagina

 

A choked highway

In and out of a riot drug metropolis

Slicked with cheap oil

Fast and easy, slow and hours long

Paris Hilton’s vagina

 

Ghetto rock for Princess

Pipe pages, a sticky magazine

Slow tongue in the basement

High on the American dream

Paris Hilton’s vagina

-Matthew Good

 

Remind you of any songs?

[Crusader]

So secretly the new single is about Paris Hilton's vagina.

[miscellaneous]

That's right. I found that at Matthew good.net, then at the bottom of the news section, where his writings are.

while he was moving into matthewgood.org, he had this sort of creative page on his site, the mshow, im sure some of you will recall it, and i loved his pultocracy board game. i have it saved, its great.

[kd_special]

Yeah I am almost done the book... I found it really cool,, Lots of weird storys,, My favourite has to be The one about the porn star, Or the Reasearch document on the effects of Motion Sickness pills.

 

All in all its been a good book but im on like the last story and it blows, Milton somthing or other I can't wait for it to end... But maybe I am missing somthing.... I will have to read the whole book again I think

Milton Hadley? Milton Hadley's great!

 

ANd I remember the MShow. It had a entire thing about the strategic points of Canada if there was to be a war with the US or Britain, from the 30s or 40s I think. I still have it on my computer, if anyone wants it, PM me.

[Lauren]

yeah, i didn't want to read that cause it was super long

[miscellaneous]

It is, but it's really interesting jsut to scan through. Talks about all of the natural resources, and strategic ports, and industries and everything of Canada.

[Lauren]

oh i've scanned....

[running4home]

[Lauren]
