Dont
Be Bonin Me: The Life of Sterling Hayden
by Chris Robinson. "Hayden, as it turns
out, was an interesting fellow off the screen.
In life, Hayden had sailed around the
world by the age of 20, ran guns for Tito, ratted
on fellow commies during a HUAC hearing, headed
out to sea again, against court orders, to Tahiti
with his four kids, wrote two acclaimed books,
was an alcoholic, got busted for weed possession
in the 1980s, all the while beginning to resemble
a Greek god with his long white hair and freakish
moustache-missing beard."

The Not

by Chris
J. Robinson. "...they
were among the first to take rock music seriously
and in doing so bridged, or more accurately
shattered the gap between high (eg. Aristotle)
and low (eg. The Beach Boys) culture."
