Reading a Salinger obit today I saw a mention by the late great Norman Mailer, Mailer said: “Salinger never got outta Prep School. Which got me thinking of yesterdays post (or was it the day before -I lose track) about Titus and Los camp being sophomoric bands (I don’t mean that as an insult, I love bands, it’s just a Collegiate fact). Maybe I should say college… anyway, rock bands and higher education based solely and with zero research upon my opinion.
