Good shit!

The part where they're explaining California to the cop from Georgia at the bar might just be my favorite part of the book so far.

Was hoping for a more in-depth take on Britney's career, but there are enough factoids, anecdotes, and perspectives in this book to keep me engaged regardless.

In case you haven't heard yet, I am working on an MJ project this summer. This is going to be shown in a YouTube video done by yours truly.

So much world building and terminology that there is kind of a learning curve for myself when reading this, but I’m getting into the flow of it.

This book is fascinating in every sense of the word. I have always been a big fan of Dangerous, I've always loved the album, this Susan Fast argument is one of the most compelling takes I have heard about an album, ever. At the same time, though, I am at the point of the book where she is suggesting that Dangerous is a post-modern album, so it's getting pretty dense, but I am still loving it.

In my on-going Michael Jackson hyper fixation saga, I have finally made my way to the 33 1/3 book series - this being my first. So far this is a fucking brilliant analysis of the album and it's place in MJ's discography.

One thing that is easy to forget about Mr. Harmony Korine is how damn funny he is. This book is bizarre, twisted, and random (just like his films), but it is also, at times, truly hilarious. I feel like his sense of humor isn’t to so obvious when you look strictly at his filmography, but seriously this dude is a comedic, but overall, genius.
