Rolling Stone's 86th greatest album of all time
As a child, I used to look at the album cover and wonder why a man would go around with a gammon steak hanging out of his back pocket. I'm glad I never tried to replicate this look at a school disco.
The album includes more of Springsteen's hits than his other albums I have listened to. His voice still grates on me, being a low quality Dylan impression at times, and generally indecipherable.

Absolute must read - so funny!
What a great book. So refreshing to read something so different, so out there. In the world of political correctness this is definitely going to upset quite a few snow flakes. But if you are old school and you have a great sense of humour, this will definitely be your cup of tea. Very "Guy Ritchie" like. Highly recommend it.

"Back in high school, my best friend gave me a tattered paperback of Boy Wonder by the late/great James Robert Baker. We’d been into making movies, writing stories, and living imaginatively since kindergarten, and this gonzo, out-of-print novel about a young-madman-turned-Hollywood-super-producer had it all. Boy Wonder is the perfect summer read, a fount of crazed inspiration, laugh-out-loud funny, and to this day, one of the most seminal reading experiences I’ve had."

"Former President Carter has been an idol of mine my whole life. I chose the ‘White House Diary,’ because he is so detailed, nuanced and candid about his time in office that it actually reads like you accidentally stumbled upon your teenaged son’s incredibly and shockingly advanced diary while he is at school—except your teenage is son is former President Jimmy Carter and he was 86 years old when he wrote this book. You are going to be so proud of him"

"Hey, storytellers: if you’re adapting a classic, this is film school 101. Never before or since (though I love Black Swan for trying) has anyone achieved what Powell and Pressburger did here, in terms of character and theme. Add the beautiful work of Jack Cardiff and you achieve something of which I, personally, can only hope to replicate a glimmer as a visual storyteller in comics and animation: Technicolor atmosphere that conveys immediate emotion and also has a lasting impact."
