7/24/2018 I got through Monday sitting in the surgery waiting room watching YouTube clips of Tom Snyder interviewing Harlan Ellison. I started taking notes on audio I wanted to share and this episode is the result. The audio comes from several different interviews. Tom interviewed Harlan quite a few times over the years. I find what both of them said to be quite fascinating and profound. In my opinion, this is a must-hear episode for any creative person.  Download uitb0388.mp3 Clip 1: They WILL write Introduction Clip 2: It just gets to be a drag after a while Clip 3: Creative Interference Clip 4: They can't buy my soul but they can rent my talent Clip 5: I'll kill to keep those words that way Clip 6: People get used to garbage Clip 7: Life is not a John Wayne movie Clip 8: Things come too easily / Simplifying ideas distorts them Clip 9: What are people afraid of?
