I watch John Heneghan to make sense of my Stefan Grossman delta blues books from the 70's that didn't come with VHS or DVD's.
He's the most authentic guitarist of that kind of thing that I've seen.

OMG! Binky Brown was one of my first comics after I discovered Crumb! Then Dori Seda (RIP) and then a slew of crazy and AMAZING underground comics. It made my life so much more happy between drug freakouts in Tompkins & WSP.

[@J900900J]

Yeah. Aline's stuff was never that revered. Not to put her down or anything.

[@bluecircleofsquares]

I'm a great admirer of R. Crumb, but I am NOT buying into the bullshit that his wife is a major artist. She's actually a very minor talent who nobody would ever look at if she wasn't Crumb's wife. Whenever Crumb does these duo comics with his wife----- the result is really inferior to the extremely high level of talent and genius that Crumb displays on his own. Aline Crumb is just riding the wave of her husband's success and that's OK, but don't try to fool me that she deserves this kind of public recognition.

[@MothGirl007]

I pretty much agree with you.

[@marknewton6984]

So true.

[@words4dyslexicon]

the daughter might be up to something tho, movie Ghost World featured a little bit of her comic art..

[@stryker1195]

Aline didn't understand that I loved her, but then how could she?

This random crap about taking a rope into her teeth and saving everybody with it is on par with magical realism Nobel-winning literary "giants" :)
