As long as my health allows, I'll probably be unable to resist putting my 2 cents in. I certainly understand your wanting to stay gridless. As to the 7734, my mom told me that the MD predicted that I'd be a July 4th baby. Sure enough, she went into labor 7-4-34. I was a breech birth. This was before they did Ceasarians very much and the poor woman was in and out of labor for 3 days. Out I popped on 7-7-34. When telling me this tale, she looked at me sort of wistfully and said, "You always were a stubborn kid."

Look at the back of one of the RNR books and you'll find a pretty complete ist of all the books. I'm afraid my brain is no longer fully functional memory-wise.

You are right. Many artists, editors and writers got their start or achieved their reputations from us and are still out there working. They have requested my presence at various comic cons and panel discussions which I do at times via Skype. A former editor and writer contacted me and told me about adult coloring books. Not porno, but coloring books that adults can do and frame etc. So, we are selecting art from our Rock N Roll books and turning them into coloring books. They should be out around Thanksgiving.

By the way, after 24 years, I let the copyrights lapse, so I make $0 but who would have thought that they would keep selling after all this time?

9 was never distributed. We were being sued again and we were just getting started and simply couldn't afford a lawyer.

There are some others you may be interested in. If you are a Beatles fan there is an 8 part series that not only tells their story, but puts it in historical perspective. Then a 7 part series on Elvis. But the one you' may get a kick out of is a pure satire, based on Atlas called "Elvis Shrugged." All the characters are substituted by show biz icons.

Ah mr 7734 i havent done that calculator trick for years.
Sorry i am off the radar, but there is snow lying outside. I went on strike 25 april 2006 and define that as choosing to work only on the minimum tax rate at a government job that Galt would say should not exist. I am a Producer in my life but not in my taxpaying work and my bosses have no values to trade with me. And being in this Gulch is a great trade.
I will keep reading and hope you keep posting.

Actually, I miscounted and put in 11 instead of 10.
I suppose I should take out William Schwenck Gil-
bert.

I appreciate the appreciation. I'm curious, where is here? Don't answer if you don't wish to. But as an aside, I communicate with people world-wide outside the http://Gulch.It started with a dear friend who is Japanese who is an avid KISS fan. I once had a business relationship with Gene Simmons and hooked her up to meet him when KISS toured Japan. Since then I have become acquainted with fans and friends of fans all over the place, so I like adding locations to my pantheon.

Yes.
Punch it in to your adding machine & turn it upside down (7734).

7734 - birthday 7 july?

Hi Herb just bear in mind its midwinter here so more likely i would give you soup than soap if thats what you mean?
As i said i appreciate your comments on so many topics and you clearly started a great thread here.
I have just re-read A B Facey's A Fortunate Life' what a great ol fella he was, writing that 60 years after he returned from war. A Producer for sure.

I'm an old retired guy. I can devote as much or as little time to a project as I choose. Although I find myself so occupied in retirement that I actually have to give myself a day off. Thanks for the invite. However if I showed up on your doorstep you might call the police.

Hardly.

Thanks.
In my case, ignorance was the culprit, not so much intentional cruelty. But when you're a kid, it really doesn't take too much to get you screwed up.But I have been most fortunate in life to have gotten the goodness I have.

Herb, I am so sorry. I taught in an elementary school for several years, and met so many children who suffered from horrible family conditions. About all I could do was make the time that they spent in my classroom as pleasant as possible. Many of them overcame great odds and became productive citizens like you obviously have.

I read a review which stated pretty much what you said. As a result I decided not to read it. Too bad .Perhaps it was just a one trick pony that Lee wrote. Sort of like a golfer getting a hole in one..

Actually, I think I should have left one of those out
in order to have room for Yaron Brook. I wanted
to ask him about why should people trade with Red
China. (There was a video, but the librarian said
they had no headphones available any more, and when I went to the Dollar Store, they had
none to sell but Communist crap).
As to Harper Lee, there is a point that had long
interested me. In the movie, which I saw long
ago on TV, Tom Robinson is reported dead; it is
reported that he tried to escape after his convic-
tion, when he was to be taken to prison (where
he was to be held pending an appeal). My father
said he bet Tom Robinson didn't either try to es-
cape, that the guard/guards just murdered him
and lied about it afterwards. But in the book, the
reported "escape attempt" occurs some weeks
after he has been taken to Enfield Prison Farm;
the report is that he was shot while attempting
to get over the wall. And I wondered if Harper
Lee intended this to be true, or just a cover-up
like my father thought.
---There was a sort of a sequel to her book. But
I read that it was actually written first.One dis-
crepancy--Jean Louise ("Scout") remembers
her father having actually gained any acquittal
in the case of a black accused of rape.
----This book is entitled "Go Set a Watchman".
I didn't particularly like it. It makes Atticus Finch
look comparitively bigoted. I could well have
done without it.

I don't think I could learn anything from two of that trio.
