Neil Gaiman Talks To John Dvorak
writes "John Dvorak managed to get Neil Gaiman to come onto his video podcast and discuss writing technique and such. I'm not a huge Dvorak fan, but Gaiman will get my attention pretty much any time." Well, it is worth noting that there are other folks before Gaiman, but Gaiman's piece is excellent. As regular readers know, I've been a huge fan/proponent of Neil's work and having meet him a couple years back and exchanged some e-mail over the years it's good to see him getting the recognition he deserves. Watching this video also made me think of some other unusual pairings; I'm thinking Katie Couric doing an interview with Stephen Hawking should happen.
It's a kind of magic.
The ghost of Freddie Mercury?
Eloi are stupid, throw morlocks at them!
Not. He isn't. Scientology would definitely let us know if he were one of them.
His parents were, but it's not discussed. And this is from a former alt.religion.scientology poster and spreader of the word of Xenu. Since he doesn't discuss their lives, I'd think it rude to bring up his parents in his presence. I'd cringe if I ever heard someone asking him about it.
Apparently his parents were high-level true believers. But let it go; apparently, and per his recollections, they left him alone to make up his own mind, and it seemed to work out well in the end. He picked up a solid interest in religion and mythology on his own, and I'd *assume* that he understands the mechanics of what Hubbard did in contructing a business from Hugo Gernsbach-era science fiction neo-myth.
His parents loved him, and he turned out very okay. So, let it lie.
