Posted my favourite Count Floyd on FB, the Bergman clip--for the Bergman parody, but most of all for Flaherty breaking character when he starts barking at the crew, trying to figure out who booked the film.

I'll bet he wrote that many times over the years, and relished every single one.

Bummed to hear about Sinclair. I met him several times when Bomp/Total Energy was releasing those MC5 tapes in the mid 90s. Hilarious beatnik Santa Claus - I wish I got my copy of Guitar Army signed.

Bummed about both, almost missed the news about Sinclair since my social media feeds have been overwhelmed with (justified!) outpourings of love for Flaherty.

I saw Barth on a panel with a few other novelists, and someone asked him something snarky and he responded calling it a "shitful comment."
