I feel like writers could really benefit from having stronger personas (benefit both themselves and their audiences). One time I saw Chuck Palahniuk do a reading at a nigh club in San Francisco and it was insane. Drunken, loud, hilarious, unexpected. I've been to a lot of readings but have never seen anything come even close to that. Palahniuk's performance made me realize something that should be so obvious but that I'd never thought about before: writers, at some basic level, are entertainers.
I would imagine that Weird Al must be weird constantly. It's probably in his contract. I love that picture of Dali. He was a true artist in every sense and did not care what anyone thought about him, which is always admirable. Thank you for sharing, Robert.
