Have you seen the documentary "Crumb"? He's totally nuts, but truly a genius.

 

[scott wurcer]

Cool, I've seen it. I didn't know Robert Hughes offered his endorsement. RH is one of the few Normils that I admire.

 

[7n7is]

I remember renting out a moving about him a long time ago, but I don't remember much about it.

 

[tomtt]

He's totally nuts, but truly a genius.

nuts=genius
genius=nuts


Often together,

hand in hand.

[SY]

They said that Einstein was crazy. They said that Columbus was crazy. They said that Joe M. Varilla was crazy.

 

[Pano]

Have you seen the documentary "Crumb"? He's totally nuts, but truly a genius.

Yes I have, twice. His looks sane in comparison to the other members of his family.

There is a "coffee table" book set of Zap Comix -- discussed in this morning's New York Times -- http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/02/arts/design/zap-comix-now-in-a-coffee-table-boxed-set.html

I think that the proto-stoners working the library at Universitatits Bronxiensis subscribed. They also had Playboy, but you had to ask the reference librarian for the much pawed over copy. (Jebbies probably got it first).

 

[scott wurcer]

(Jebbies probably got it first).

I experienced the Jebbies long before Zap. I did like the comment about S.
Clay Wilson blowing the doors off the church, it figures too that WSB was a fan.

 

[sofaspud]

I was born at the right time to still remember Franklin, Phineas, Freddy, and Mr. Natural, et al.

oops!... FFFB was Gilbert Shelton! Well, I remember hazily

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Never heard of him.

 

[Cassiel]

The movie was depressing, and I found him creepy. The comics are mostly fun to read, yeah his sexual fantasies are weird but who cares.

 

[jackinnj]

Never heard of him.

probably too busy reading Erasmus in Aramaic.

 

[miklos]

Comes accross creepy, beacouse he doesn't have seecrets.

 

[john curl]

'Keep on Truckin' Robert Crumb

 

[jacco vermeulen]

probably

Pa un erudishon bieu, bo sa hopi frega.

(ma-lacto sounds like a woman with lots of fresh milk to spare)

 

[dellama]

Yeah, I remember laughing at those big boots moving on the page the first time I was introduced to some potent Sativa. John Curl, I remember reading you modified your ST1700 in order to prove out your PID/TID thesis. I have one and was hoping you could give me an idea of how resolving it can get with the mod. I'm looking to measure 1ppm THD+N distortion over 10Hz-30KHz, can this box do that with your mods? I tried to email you as per the suggestion of RNMarsh but your contact information is disabled.

 

[jcx]

maybe you're confused? - it was Cordell who built a quadrature IM analyzer to test the PID/TID thesis

Great interview. I saw Crumb play with his band once or twice, and would occasionally see him around Davis, CA back when I lived there and he was in nearby Winters. Some of his comics from that era were true enough to the area to make me say, "Hey, I know that house".

[dellama]

Hmmm, I was under the impression that the original idea of those distortions came from Otala and Curl but since I don't have a link reference, I guess I'm trumped. Do you know how the 1700 was modded and if the modded unit will meet my spec requirement?
