The Letters of Gary Benchley, Rock Star: Finding a Manager – In a perpetual state of flipout, our hero sculpts the unique, simple, evocative, electric-guitar-free indie-pop (with prog leanings) sound of Schizopolis. Go, Benchley, go.

Gary Benchley, you are an evil man! The more you think about Katherine, the more WE think about Katherine. Shit, we’d already written Para off before you started translating “bandmate” as “girlfriend”; now, she’s like Marissa to Kath’s Summer.
Question is, who plays Katherine in the film adaptation; for that matter, who plays Benchley?
Here’s my rundown:
Gary Benchley – Michael C. Maronna (older Pete from ‘Pete & Pete’)or Colin Hanks
Jacob – Eddie Steeples (the guy who plays “Rubberband Man” in the Office Max spots)
Scott – I don’t know, John C McGinley, maybe?
Katherine – Kathleen Robertson? Meg White?

Good idea Mr. Loftus. I think that the Benchley saga could be traslated well into a dramatic visual medium. Para reminds me so much of my ex-gf, its pathetic. The whole idea of the girl that you have vs. the one you should be with… very cool. This is getting better and better with each installment. Go Benchley go!
I picture Scott looking like a younger John C. Reilly.
First thing a manager should do is get “Gary Benchley” to not fictionalize names and places should there really be someone behind the nom de plus truly trying to become a rock star. Sure, one could make the argument that Schizopolis is not yet ready for the “load” of publicity that TMN creates, but c’mon, if they’ve practised together as long they have and are not ready for it, they never will be.
But then if I was a rock star wanna be more concerned about dillying my dally in two different holes, I guess I’d change names and places too.
I am done riding this charade. I would have continued to love it if it had at first acknowledged what was fact and what was fiction but no longer. Too much fraud in this world to accept otherwise the true person(s) behind it regardless of reason.

If one must use the charade of truth to prop up one’s writing, then is the writing really all that good?
Yup, condemn the truth before it is known. That is the way of the United States under King George, no?

It’s a literary device used by all sorts of brilliant writers, most notably Vladimir Nabokov in Lolita. Benchley probably isn’t quite up to par with Nabokov, ha ha, but his stuff is at least as entertaining and far better written than the [url=http://www.mixerman.net/]Mixerman Diaries[/url]. Lighten up, Moses.
Gee, thanks, Mencken. Duh, how stupid am I! It is a literary device. And so is self-deprecating sarcasm:
