Road Scribbler
Road Scribbler is an album of David Standish's favorite entertainment articles. We present to you, a "writer's cut"-the way they appeared before certain deranged editors got their hands on them.
David Standish has been writing about rock & roll for forty years. Not only that, but also allied low-rent forms including comic books, pinball, science fiction, and movies. Plus, other wonderful despised junk of all kinds.
Standish has written many articles for many publications over the years:
- Playboy magazine
- Esquire
- Rolling Stone
- Smithsonian
- Outside
- Audubon
- Chicago Magazine
- Travel & Leisure and others.
A few have never been published. This includes one about the making of Animal House (he was the only journalist to cover it). Standish wrote it before the movie came out. His editor at Playboy told him that he really liked the writing, but that "the movie isn't important enough to publish it".
To quote Kurt Vonnegut, so it goes .
