 The Red Light District $14.99 ...like I do this is just absolutely great. Down in Amsterdam nothing is forbidden, including convos with a madam and her girls, a couple of 'ladies of the evening'and even smoking a giant spliff while you do a song!!  Red-Dirt Marijuana and Other Tastes $17.95 Four astonishing pieces highlight this fine collection: "Razor Fight." That's exactly what the story is about. The dialogue is thrillingly terse. "You're Too Hip, Baby." When even the alienated find you too alienating. "Twirlin' at Ole Miss." One of the most famous examples of Gonzo journalism. Hardcore New Yorker (actually, Southern was a Texan) heads south to research the subculture of baton twirling and finds, hilariously, that stereotypes of "The South" are all true! "Blood of a Wig." One of the most notorious American short stories ever written. Back in the day, a college acquaintance told me what this story was about. I didn't believe him. Turns out he was right. Title refers to a very clandestine type of drug abuse -- injecting yourself with the blood of a schizophrenic. And that's just the beginning.  Red Dust Rising $15.98 If your recipe for Rock is a spicy mix of southern fried Stones circa Let It Bleed & Exile On Mainstreet thrown in with some Skynard country soul and Detroit grit, get cooking. Serve with Drive by Truckers and Dead String Brothers for a complete Beggers Banquette. |
