The Midnight Citizen 271: “Present Laughter”

The Overnightscape Underground

Join Mike for coffee at night in the studio, and later for a cocktail outside on the patio.

Topics this week include a lament on the university building where I had my first college class some years ago being demolished this week in a spectacular Las Vegas-style kind of violence; thoughts on why it’s important to temper our nostalgia, because nostalgia has led us down some uncertain and shady paths lately; reviews of two druggy movies I watched recently — “Requiem for a Dream” and “Trainspotting”; what is a drug?; heroine chic; the wild spirit of 90’s indie-filmmaking; drug trafficking in modern America and a book review of “Among the Bros” by Max Marshall, which is about that very thing, and much more!
