v. is there a collection of her '78-'81 writings or maybe the modern review stuff.

I know she was very critical of 'england's dreaming'. Caugh a clip of Savage on TV saying something like 'why isn't she here to defend her review of my book?' when someone else showed up.

vi. has anyone read 'sugar rush' the book? maybe her take on pop, etc. is in there even if it might not end up to much as a novel..

haha because THEORY - for all that it can be anti-rockist - is v much anti-popist! I can imagine word-for-word the Burchill argument against theory (some of those words would no doubt be "working class heroes like my dead dad never needed it"). I wonder what S Reynolds actually thinks of her.

isn't "being OK by T Parsons" enough to make any given person "not OK by J Burchill"?!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

yes! THEORIZE THAT YOU DWEEBS!
