Moby: ‘There were bags of drugs, I was having sex with a stranger’

Well what can I say? I am a little surprised at Moby, but I suppose if you have a book to plug, then it probably ISN'T that surprising.  I rather liked Moby - he does still seem a principled-enough chap, some would say nausiatingly so (isn't he vegan/Born Again Christian/blah blah blah?).  I liked his experimental sampling and all-round techno good guy stance.  However, he seems not so much 'We Are All Made of Stars'; more like 'We Are All Made Of Hash & Unicorns & Mushrooms & Sex.'  Thankfully, he has cleaned up his act but I do like his following quote re his meteoric rise;

"It’s like being a snowball rolling down a mountain. The snowball might have started kind of pure, but by the end, it’s filled with dead squirrels and sticks and rocks and wellies and garbage. You’ve got this snowball at the end, but to what extent does it relate to or resemble that original snowball?"

In the photo above, he looks like my fellow college kinsman John Bell - LOL maybe I should tell him (he might just smile at the 'Sex& Drugs & Tech & No')

More of the same and I am in effective lockdown.  I have to shave off 1,000 words before adding sprinkles - I maybe gone for some time :-(

After lengthy rewriting and editing, I have brought the word count down from 3,375 to 3,296 - a whopping 79 words.  Coming away from the computer to have a late dinner :-/

TBH, I can't concentrate anymore.  Think I need to do a bit of reading and see if I can subtract some of the 'all-but-the-kitchen-sink' stuff that I deem to have in it.
