I am going to Bangor this summer for an SK tour and I'm trying to meet Stephen, so if I get super lucky and I do meet him, I will try my BEST to remember and print out this page and ask him some questions. If anyone has any cool things to do in the Bangor area PM me!

This got ugly pretty quick, now didn't it. I believe that in the forum rules we are cautioned against political discussions. There is a difference between discussing the fact that King named his son after a certain socialist (I found it informative and I'm not bothered by it), and actually arguing about politics. Though I am annoyed when what I view as someone shoving something down my throat, occurs in their body of work, I am not against them having their opinions. When it has no basis in the story and does nothing to enhance the narrative, I begin to see it as propaganda rather than style. That said-I hope that this doesn't get any more heated. I would hate to see us all on double-super-secret probation!

I love movies. Good, bad, old, new, foreign, domestic. I can walk a way from a movie theater thinking "that movie sucked", but I love going to see it. But I think of movie stars as children: they should be seen and not heard. I don't care what they think. Just keep making movies.
I look at writers the same way. Just keep writing. Don't bore me with your thoughts on green toilet paper or union busting. If you must, write a non-fiction book about those subjects and maybe I'll read it.

I guess Rush Limbaugh would agree - I don't.
Regardless, not reading King any longer because he named his son after some Swedish socialist (which he didn't) ....come on.
This reminds me of another American icon, Barbra Streisand.
I love her voice, her music, but I'm always amazed at the strong negative (American) reactions she receives - many people refusing to buy her CDs, or watch her movies, just because of her political point(s) of view.
I just don't get that.

You honestly don't understand why people don't want to buy CDs or whatever from Streisand? It's because they want to listen to music and not preaching crap. They also don't like hearing their own country constantly being bashed knowing these people wouldn't have all their millions if they weren't living in this country they hate so much. Absurd hypocrisy and they're too dull in the mind to even realize how stupid they sound. Obama is starting wars all over the place and you don't hear a peep out of these people, the same people who were constantly bashing Bush over the Iraqi war and on "peace marches" virtually every day (and I was never a big fan of Bush by the way).

And I thought liberals were so tolerant??? Only tolerant of people who have the same nonsensical views as theirselves.

Originally posted by C.W. LaSart View PostHaving seen King speak a couple of years ago, I can assure you his political and religious views have not changed one bit. Even when discussing his book, he found every chance to bash the conservatives that he could. It was the only downfall to an otherwise perfect evening. I'm not interested in a writer's political views-just tell me a story!
