“the way it feels to be the best at something.” Pretty much the ultimate. Which is why I’m about to kill myself and name you, Molly Fromkin, as the trigger. Read more

DUDE I saw that when I read the piece (which I had never read before until writing this)! There are so many pictures of both of us in both of those articles! I WONDER WHYYYYY Read more

This same guy wrote about me with the juicy title, “Does Dayna Evans Support Harassment of Women?” (Complete with photos of me culled from the web.) Read more

thank you! i actually do not mind that post because it’s such an obviously incorrect claim—he’d have been better off taking me down with something more realistic. i also tend to trust that—as happened on that issue—whenever men’s rights advocates and very far left feminists are mad at me for the same reason Read more

It blows my mind that anyone can compare the two. A seven year old is not thinking about their body or anyone else’s in a sexual way. BUT HAS ANYONE EVER MET A 14 YEAR OLD BOY?? Read more

This is incredibly well written and well thought out. I’m sorry that your name pops up with such a terrible association, that must hurt but seriously great job on this piece.

I love Zevon’s entire catalog (his music is referenced throughout my debut novel, “The Big Rewind”) but it’s for that reason that I have such a soft spot for that particular Read more

“Peg” is such a fantastic song. It’s probably Steeely Dan’s best song and it's one of my favorite songs from the 70s. Plus the guitar solo was subject to a Kubrick-ian number of takes before the Dans were happy with it. Read more

Your dad was way cooler than my dad. We listened to a lot of Don McLean, James Taylor, Jesse Winchester, and John Gorka. Also once we had a set of tapes of old Garrison Keillor broadcasts, and I thought I would kill myself. I am a huge NPR listener, but at the sound of his voice I run and turn off the radio. Read more

My dad raised me with classic rock and I approve. Totally jammed Sultans of Swing the other night and Led Zeppelin has gotten me pulled over.

Incidentally, I have the soundtrack to Top Gun loaded up in a playlist right now out of a similar respect for childhood road trips. My dad would play it in the car on the way to Read more
