IN THIS ISSUE #22.
Addictions…all kinds…and the worst part about them is denying they exist at all…
MIKE MADRID'S THE COMPLETIST is so nuttily, joyfully addicted to collecting that he can hardly be said to be addicted at all…crack EAP photography editor BOB IRWIN went on assignment to photograph Mike's collections, and was so overwhelmed this month he also contributes BOB'S PHOTO GALLERY: ELEVATED GIMCRACKS …music editor MAX VERNON weighs in with his own giddy list of addicts: MAX'S ALPHABETICAL GUIDE TO MUSIC'S DRUG ADDICTED CHILDREN …if it's not comprehensive, it's definitely evocative, though what Dick Van Dyke is doing in there I'm not sure…
MAT CAPPER sees the only sensible response to drug addiction in MUMBLINGS OF A SCOUSER: ADDICTION …and HARVEY HARRISON offers his surreal paean to winos in LIKE CHILDREN. .. unsurprisingly, SEAN WATKIN is ADDICTED TO LOVE …STEPHANIE SIDES (along with a lot of other women) is ADDICTED TO SILENCE … HARVEY LILLYWHITE feels SOMETHING IS MISSING …BJ BEAUCHAMP thinks MISERY LOVES COMPANY …and JAYNE LYN STAHL announces A TWELVE STEP PROGRAM FOR BLOGGERS …
DAVID HOROWITZ offers a poem that's short but to the point… SPECIAL. ..
THIS MONTH’S EDITORIAL isn't necessarily against Addiction…but it's dead set against Denial…
And, this month, THE RED CAMP by Debra Diaz, comes to an end…(coming soon, our next serialization, a semi-stirring tale of piracy and literary references: GREENBEARD...)
The Todblog continues to think the division is not between Democrats and Republicans, but between idiots and the rest of us... JAM TODAY continues its quest for the perfect meal….
And finally, THE DISNEY PRINCESSES ™ SNUB ASK WENDY …at least, they give it a try…
This month’s photographs — all of them — are by EAP photography editor BOB IRWIN..
Next month: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS issue appears 15 April.
