I'm not a big crime reader, but I'm reading Michael Connelly's 'The Reversal.' I'm going back to his novels. I'm also reading Keith Richards' 'Life.' I'm always fascinated by the transition from the innocent late '60s and early '70s and the youth culture becoming an industry.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

I wasn't that into crime novels at all, but a friend introduced me to the work of Jim Thompson - I loved all his books.

Rock for Life's mission is to educate, activate, mobilize and unite the youth of our nation to fight the culture of death. Young activists from across the country will gather in our nation's capital this weekend to speak out against the assault on the most essential human right - the right to life.

The crowd of influences streaming on the young soul is so great, the clods of barbarism and violence flung at him so strange and overwhelming, that an assumed stupidity is his only refuge.

It was the beginning of youth culture and pandering to youth culture, ... In that, the comic book publishers were definitely pioneers.
