Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19

So many great albums that year, including The Clash's Sandinista!, Bruce's The River, AC/DC's Back in Black and Get Happy! by Elvis.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Wait -- this is a poem, right? I'm still learning all the myriad forms ;)
