I've been a fan of Thomas Frank since way back, even made a JPG to prove I'd
read it, people never listen to the kid:
http://www.geocities.com/genius-2000/baffler9.JPG
I know that is not a picture of Baffler 9, which I read in 99-2000, and is a
relevant influence on my Genius 2000 ideas.

Great to see Geert interviewing Thomas Frank, a very interesting writer.
I'm busy right now creating a media kit with video and music, plus bio and
resume, to send out to everyone including Geert and Thomas!
But why wish for a new generation of intellectuals, who work outside of
academia; why utopianize that kind of antinomianism? I think it's a serious
question.
