I am sad beyond words about Peter Shapiro. Turn the Beat Around is the best-written book on disco, period. He was a writing hero.

That joke isn't funny any more In 2003, I wrote a book called Crap Towns. It seemed funny at the time. But plenty of people say it would not be possible to publish it today. Is that a problem?
