Paul Ford and the Tale of an Inebriated Butthole Surfer
The Awl interviews Paul Ford, former editor of Harper’s. I can see where he’s coming from. I live for a good puzzle,
“[Paul:] I could have been a respected editor instead of a huge nerd. But all the editing in the world can’t compare to building little websites and mangling text and writing things and messing around in spreadsheets and figuring out what’s wrong with comments. I wake up thinking about how all the pieces fit together and I want to do more of it and with lots of people. I plan to be scared and exhausted most of the time. So far that’s working.”
Now, I haven’t got a clue what Alex Chilton or the Butthole Surfers has to do with Paul Ford resigning from Harper’s (typical Awl: off-topic yet entertaining), but don’t forget to read about the Butthole Surfers misbehaving in The Netherlands. If the Dutch can deal with alcohol-induced madness of that caliber — and ask for more — it proves beyond reasonable doubt that their culture is, in fact, more tolerant than most. That probably doesn’t come as a surprise to most of you, but it’s worth mentioning.
