Transcript of former Saturday Night Live writer and erstwhile Star Trek Ferengi, Mel Green's, side of a conversation we had in Book Soup, Los Angeles, 1992:
(cough, cough)OK, once there was a "way,"* but all that's fucking over.I am power tool.I am power tool.Plug me in.Made me feel powerful, made me feel good.I'm looking for a work of fiction.
*I seem to remember, we had been talking about the Tao or "way," perhaps Lao Tzu's "middle way." Note: William Burroughs said, "Beware the middle way."
