More From P. J. O'Rourke

Tape machines are effects boxes as well because each tape machine has its own sound. you can over-load a tape machine or you can bump it a certain way so it compresses or makes a sound, tape saturation.
Sound Tape Machines
The mystery lies in the here and now. the mystery is: what is one to do with oneself? as you get older you begin to realize the trick time is playing, and that unless you do something about it, the passage of time is nothing but the encroachment of the horrible banality of the past on the pure future. the past devours the future like a tape recorder, converting pure possibility into banality. the present is the tape head, the mouth of time. then where is the mystery and why bother kicking through the ashes? because there is a clue in the past.
Time Lying Past
I think there is an enormous diference between speaking and writing. one rereads what one writes. but one might read it slowly or quickly. in other words, you do not know how long you will have to spend deliberating over a sentence. ... but if i listen to a tape recorder, the listening time is determined by the speed at which the tape turns and not by my own needs.
Writing Thinking Long
... and we talk it out. lately, i've had roy thomas come in, and he sits and makes notes while we discuss it. then he types them up, which gives us a written synopsis. originally - i have a little tape recorder - i had tried taping it, but then i found no one on staff has time to listen to the tape again later. but this way he makes notes, types it quickly, i get a carbon, the artist gets a carbon ... so we don't have to worry that we'll forget what we've said.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

I am an idealist. i often feel i would like to be an artist in an ivory tower. yet it is imperative that i speak to people, so i must desert that ivory tower. to do this, i am a journalist - a photojournalist. but i am always torn between the attitude of the journalist, who is a recorder of facts, and the artist, who is often necessarily at odds with the facts. my principle concern is for honesty, above all honesty with myself.

No nation can be really great unless it is great in peace, in industry, integrity, honesty. skilled intelligence in civic affairs and industrial enterprises alike; the special ability of the artist, the man of letters, the man of science, and the man of business; the rigid determination to wrong no man, and to stand for righteousness-all these are necessary in a great nation.
Determination Honesty Integrity
My share of the work of the world may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious. darwin could work only half an hour at a time; but in many diligent half-hours he laid anew the foundations of philosophy. green, the historian, tells us that the world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
Time Honesty Philosophy
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Beauty Courage Honesty
Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
