Or not, he didn't even have shit on Hemingway. Even when he pathetically tried to criticize him with his wannabe intellectual arrogant crap.

Answer the question.

any writer worth his salt is a pretentious *******, its that pretention and self-delusion that make a writer sit down and tap tap tap on the keys thinking that whatever he is putting down is so important that other people need to digest it.

same goes for musicians, i have never once met a musician or writer i didnt think was an *******. but they are fun to drink with.

music (in no particular order): black dahlia murder, dylan, dillinger escape plan, pinback, neutral milk hotel, velvet underground, between the buried and me, the toadies, miles davis, animal collective, at the drive-in.. some modern composers and some local folk acts... blah blah blah... but really what does it matter?
