Just thinking of that time in 2018 when Quincy Jones gave a couple of remarkable interviews with eye-popping details. RIP to a real one.
Here's the Vulture interview (1/2)

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

One of the most frustrating narratives about my state is that if NC goes for Harris, it's because of people moving here - as if Black folks and poor white folks and women haven't always lived here forever and haven't always wanted something more.

John Carpenter, who made the low-budget scare picture HALLOWEEN, has a visual sense of menace. He quickly sets up an atmosphere of fear, and his blue night tones have a fine, chilling ambience. (1979)

I profiled the greatest rapper of all time, Ghostface Killah, for @stereogum.
We spoke how his style is similar to an expressionist painter, Martin Scorsese, living in Africa, coffee, and why at 25 he was forced to have the mind of a 50 year old. Read: stereogum.com/2284754/ghostf…

this unreal compilation is going to direct-relief orgs in WNC. from @rodeowalrus on the dozens of contributions: “I think it has something to do with how this area gets sneakily into people’s souls, even if you’ve just passed through.” (for @indyweek) indyweek.com/music/musicians…

I like some things in The Atlantic and respect many of the staff, but I gotta say, this is very persuasively argued criticism. currentaffairs.org/news/the-…

3 years ago Gannett often sent reporters (like me!) to help smaller newsrooms report on Ida & other disasters
Today nearly all those journalists we went to help are gone, including longtimers who were the ONLY reason I produced anything coherent about a place I’d never been

I want to throw myself out of a window when I read old reporter's memoirs from WWII because they're like "I was a high school dropout in rural Mississippi when I walked into my local newspaper and they asked 'How'd ya like to go to Paris, kid?' And so began my 80-year career."
