V. Vale Interview for L.A.Record
@LARecord Interview of Vale (Search& Destroy, ReSEarch) by Chris Zeigler. Vale’s still got the fire.
“History is so important, and life changes constantly, and I felt that super-powerful principle of Do-It-Yourself and anyone can do it—and anti-authoritarian in your life and thinking as much as possible, and be black humor as much as possible … those are the DNA principles of...

Just when you think the new breed of Republicans can’t possibly get more ridiculous: Indiana Rep. Bob Morris goes on to say those considered role models by the Girl Scouts are all “feminists, lesbians, or Communists.”

Thoughts on Aging
It’s funny the way we sometimes attach so much meaning to birthdays and other times we completely ignore them, well, at least some people do. I don’t think I’ve ever ignored my birthday.
