This stuff pisses me off, and I'll tell you upfront I'm a huge Ellison fan. I actually spoke to him on the phone ten or eleven years ago, and, aside from the fact that I couldn't get a greased word in edgewise with a shoehorn, it was a very pleasant conversation. I won't call him a nice guy, because he really isn't nice; but that's ok, I'm not particularly nice, either. He is, like I am, a bit of a hardass, but he's scrupulously fair...or at least used to be. I'm actually halfway inclined to believe he's got some dumbass lawyer putting him up to this shit. Anyway, the point is, I guess, that in real life he's nowhere near as big of an asshole as he's been made out to be, so this recent stuff (including the groping incident which never actually happened, but boy did a lot of people talk about it as if it did, which is about typical for the hordes of "let's slag Harlan" types out there) is actually a bit of an aberration. Something's going on, and I'm wondering what it is.<BR/><BR/>Pump head? Alzheimer's? A greedy lawyer with an even slicker line of patter than Uncle Harlan's? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm almost tempted to drop him another line and say, "Hey, what the fuck is up with you?"<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, he's still got a lot of back catalogue I can enjoy...Interrobanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073177798747299275noreply@blogger.com
