Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger

CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.

  1. ... why the harshness my friend?
    Is everything ok? Like, BEYOND this issue with Salinger? You sound like you've got more than this on your mind.

    How's everything going on with getting "mud on your car?" Are you letting the Spirit of the God who loves you work, or are you letting alcohol do everything? I love you man... stay on track. Stop getting distracted. You've got one goal, one aspiration: Seek God's face. Track it. dig for it. Remember who you're not supposed to be, and pursue who you ARE being molded into.
