Jim goad, the rise and fall of a subculture badass.

Old Jim's been MIA since he got together with some chick, and the baton's been wrested by a less zine-y internet guy boiling over like Goad used to be. Jim's shtick was getting as weak as a teabag in the Rhine. On the positive side, no one can be expected to keep that up for a lifetime. So long, Jim, and thanks. Your job is done here. Jim was like the Ramones in that people who read him said "hey, I can do this." He was like Bruce Campbell because since he did his work outside the mainstream, we all felt like he was our personal movie star. And he was like Jim Goad, a guy who would take you apart, and it was actually going to hurt when he did.

Otherwise, take it home, Maddox.
