Book reports / Canadian content
Brendan asked me about Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun books and Sean Stewart's Resurrection Man, so becoming the first person to ask about all the books I read in a single month individually. Eventually I answered him.
(It turns out that Sean Stewart is also one of the major people behind I Love Bees. Dude!)
Last night I caught the opening segment of CBC's semi-news show The Hour, which began as is its wont with a skit featuring the special guests -- in this case, the Foo Fighters. The skit concerned the backstage tension between Dave Grohl and one of the stagehands or something; eventually it came out that they had been in a band together in high school, and the other guy felt betrayed because Grohl had left that band to start the Foo Fighters, and they had a tearful reconciliation. There was something about this that I thought was very strange, and maybe you've spotted it, too: can it really be the case that the skit-writers, or for that matter the fans who they expect to be watching, aren't aware that Grohl's pre-Foo project was somewhat higher profile than that?
I had other things I was going to write about, but I forget them.
