Response to Asphalt Blues -> Omigod check this out in a hurry

Yeah, critically, it's nothing original but I like it. I just about fell over when I saw it on the nyt. It looks like he just went on a bender and took a camera with him. It doesn't look self concious or like it's striving to be deep or anything like that.

It almost looks like he talked an editor into it and drank his advance or something. It's nothing I would do, but it looks like he just stopped trying and went, and without caring what he came up with, or whether it reflected well on him, or whether he was stopping at the same diner that Jack Keroac did when he wrote on the road. I think that is the neat thing.
