DavidSimon
Slate adds fuel to rumors there will be a Season Six of The Wire, focused on the Central American population.
David Simon, meet the other Simon!
I'm sure he could help you write a great script-- cheap!

Though it may appear that way by the other Simon's indictment of capitalism, I was never actually inteviewed by Slate.com
_________
Slate: If you had to sum up what
The Wire is about, what would it be?

Simon: Thematically, it's about the very simple idea that, in this Postmodern world of ours, human beings—all of us—are worth less. We're worth less every day, despite the fact that some of us are achieving more and more. It's the triumph of capitalism.

That's deep, Simon.
Yeah Anna's doing a year-in-review-- I talked to her too. She must be impressed by your grasp of geography!

burgersub said...

what kinda stuff did she ask you? i'm nervous, i've never done an interview for anything before.

Maurice Bradbury said...

uhm, like, how/why are you involved with the blog ... ?
E-mail me?

Help me out because Ms Ditkoff emailed me too and quite frankly my first interview with the Sun I felt like I had a brick up my butt and if I answered wrong they would push it in further... but seriously interviews make me a bit nervous

Maurice Bradbury said...

Well I know it's the year-end-review issue, I guess the article's about blogs, I don't know what the angle is, but sounds like she's attempting to portray the gamut of Baltimore-based crime bloggers, all 2 1/2 of us...

Assbrick, HA! So you're saying Julie B. lacks a certain ... finesse? I thought the article turned out nicely, you don't think so?

Unknown said...

No no no ...lol... she is a great reporter, a very nice person as well, not lacking in finesse....

What i meant was this: I would be nervous regardless of who was interviewing me, like when I spoke with the editor at City paper before, same assbrick feeling...

I'm pretty much nervous as hell when anyone i don't know questions me in detail about personal things
