Willie D Has An Advice Column
Warning: song is thoroughly, galactically NSFW --- JB
I don't know how I was not aware of this. Willie D of the Geto Boys, formerly known to some of us as "Willie Dee" of the Ghetto Boys and the man who gave us Controversy, has an advice column for the Houston Press. You can read the greatest hits here. What I find fascinating is that Willie's advice is neither utterly idiotic nor completely predictable. You can tell he's put some thought into each answer and the overall tone of his writing is both recognizably his and wiser than he was twenty years ago.
I wonder if the same could be said about what I write now compared to what I published in Bicycles Today back in 1991? Probably not. I'm like Updike after the turn of the century: getting older but not better.
