More From Tom Robbins

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

Hanson has rapid female fans, which i’m completely proud of, but a lot of fans are a contingent that have grown up with us really - our peers. there’s younger fans. more and more guys are hanson fans [but they’re] musicians or kind of guys who were into a beatles record.
