Jim is notably the author of novels, short stories, and biography&#8230; of California punk legends Bad Religion, Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Off!) and SST Records!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will go further: as per Doug, the impetus for the show resulted from his viewing of our interview with Jim for this show back in July and August! Around a month ago I used some of the interview in my English lectures, speaking to to authors, authorship, and the creative effort in general! In that discussion, Jim gives significant credit to a college English teacher many years back as giving him feedback and encouragement that led him to his path of journalist and multiformat writer across genres and decades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time really is a flat circle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it is telling that Doug and I both talk about how we have both lacked mentors over the years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of which contributes to the piratey (sic) vibe of these notes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to have a mentor!
