    Ha, my neighbors had a disco-lights stereo, and I used to go over there to listen to records on it all the time! Ah, the 70s.

    I love Sherman Alexie--he is a great writer and person.

    I think it is valuable to have fixed records. It forms an interesting time-line. Although, time is a man-made invention, without time signatures, there is no way to see growth. Also, sometimes, original concept are best because they are fresh. Constant revisions can make ideas tedious.

    Besides being a great writer, Mr. Alexie will go down as one of Stephen Colbert's greatest guests! Ever see Colbert OUT-Colberted? Alexie left him speechless. NAILED him! Here's the clip: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/189691/october-28-2008/sherman-alexie (coincidence that it took place exactly a year ago!)
