Rick Rubin (with Neil Strauss) — The Creative Act: A Way of Being (Canongate)
Tumblr media
Mega-producer and record label magnate Rick Rubin brings us his first book (co-written with Neil Strauss), The Creative Act: A Way of Being. At 404 pages, the book is a surprisingly breezy read, giving some insight into how Rubin approaches the art of being creative. Which for him boils down to a way of being. Those looking for juicy anecdotes about recording sessions with Johnny Cash, LL Cool J, Slayer, The Red Hot Chili Peppers or any of the other innumerable artists Rubin has worked with will be disappointed. But for those curious about the modus operandi behind one of the most influential record producers of the last 50 years, and how this might relate to one's own life, The Creative Act: A Way of Being could prove useful.
Admittedly, I was at first skeptical when the book caught my eye in a bookstore window. I was like, That Rick Rubin, the producer?  Well, why shouldn't an immensely successful record producer know something about creativity? It was more the framing of this knowledge as a way of being that caused a brief spate of disbelief on my part. Growing up in Los Angeles (The Land of Fruits and Nuts, as my hard-scrabble relatives in South Boston referred to California in general) I was used to seeing books from dime-store gurus. Edgar Cayce, Ram Dass and Timothy Leary paperbacks lined my mother's bookshelves. I had girlfriends who went to Golden Dawn temples, friends who dragged me along to channeling sessions for some deity from Venus. It was hard for me to take any of this very seriously.
Maybe it was the extreme disconnect between Rubin's commercial background and his espoused role as a seer that pushed me over the edge and caused me to buy the book. The opening quote from American artist Robert Henri sets the tone for what follows: The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable. The book therefore provides less a toolbox for working on one's life than a series of vignettes where Rubin extrapolates on various contingencies related to achieving a state of mind and spirit where creativity is possible. Some of these topics include, Listening, Self-Doubt, Non-Competition, Freedom, Inspiration and Awareness. Basically anything which Rubin feels has pertained to his creative process is included in this book.
Ironically, what came more to mind while reading this was not Rick Rubin's background but the German artist Joseph Beuys' famous dictum, Everyone is an artist (Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler). Unlike Rubin, Beuys did not frame his belief as much in the context of a spiritual journey, but like Rubin he did see himself as a kind of shaman or teacher who could lead society onward to a new — and more positive — direction by unleashing the creative possibilities each person innately possessed but perhaps did not know they had. For Beuys, this would later morph into a concept of social sculpture, where the creative state in each person would further society as a productive, forward-thinking organism.
This would also be the gist of Rubin's book. He's not trying to tell us how to make a better record, write a more catchy song, more successfully promote an artist's career (although all these things are mentioned tangentially throughout the book) but to help people realize their own unique creative strengths in the hopes of steering society in a less self-destructive direction. Though the main text and sprinkling of aphorisms scattered liberally throughout the book often verged for me on a kind of treacly sweetness, in the end I came away feeling that Rubin had really made a sincere attempt to show people the way to something they might not have realized they'd had all along.
The most inspiring take-away from the book would be this sense that even in a person's everyday life there is this great wellspring of energy to approach the most mundane tasks from a creative standpoint. That being creative doesn't necessarily mean creating something, making some beautiful object. It's about a state of mind where creativity equates with a way of existence, of approaching life with an awareness that will put one in a place where they can reconnect to a life energy which, at the very least, will lead one to experiencing a more personally fulfilling existence.
All this being said, the book also includes many concrete examples of how to circumvent creative dilemmas and meltdowns, whether this be in the recording studio or just trying to make it through a workday. Though Rubin seldom mentions people he's collaborated with by name in the book, he gives numerous examples of how he works in the studio — not necessarily microphone placement or which effects he used, but more how he guided various recording artists on an inspirational or spiritual level to realize their full creative potential. And in this context the book moves beyond its often sentimental, esoteric trappings to provide some real-world advice for people, whatever their vocation in life, to find a new way of being.

Gotta be honest, I still kinda like this scribble I did 5ish years ago of Stoker out-drinking me.
Here’s the original blurb that was written when it was originally uploaded:
Title: Another rum, General?
.....'Lawd, I ain't even a Corporal....'
If you know what that is from, then you are a super dork like me.
But no really, that's Jack I drank. Not rum, not beer. ALL DA JACK.
This was originally a sticky note doodle I drew a couple of years ago after another particularly stressful day at work back when I was still working as a Sales Manager ( Being a Sales Manager will do that to you. Never be a Sales Manager if you value your sanity ). I never finished it, I left said horrendous job, and unfinished drawing went back into the bowels of my "unfinished" pile.
Fast forward to today at my current job, and a particularly stressful day at said jerb, and I thought, "this is the work day that will make me get smashed and finish that one drawing..." So here we are.
I have a feeling General Stoker would make a great drinking buddy. What were the Producers thinking casting Peter Strauss as his voice actor? Like, I can handle Peter Strauss voicing only so many charming military rodents.
I still gotta be up in a few hours to go in to work on a Saturday because I'm so slammed with work. So lazy scribble with lazy coloring and lazy people brushes chilling in the background
Night!
Stoker © oh my God I hate this part because soooo many people own this property now.... ummm... Rick Ungar, Tom Tataranowicz, Marvel, Disney, Criterion, Brentwood Funnies....Artwork © Kylen Christine Miles

Comic-Con (A TWD One Shot)
Tumblr media
Comic-Con
(A TWD Fan Fiction)
I do not own any of the rights to The Walking Dead, nor do I own any of the characters mentioned from here on in, other than Veronica Strauss. Some situations have been changed and some people may have been switched in this alternate universe. 
Jeffrey Dean Morgan x Female OC
Word Count: 2416
~*~
Veronica looked down at her cell phone as she put her earrings on. She knew that she had to be getting out the door in a hurry. She was scheduled at a comic-con panel for The Walking Dead and time was running out for her to get ready. 
There was a knock on the door of her hotel room door as a security team member called into her. “Are you ready to go?”
“Yeah.” She grabbed her bag and headed for the door. Veronica was dressed in a form fitting maroon colored dress that struck her mid thigh with a little glitz and glam. Wearing the earring and necklace that was left in her hotel room by a co-star. One last look in the mirror she adjusted her ponytail that held her long, red curls back. Pulling open the door she was met by her security team. To her they were a bit much, but she quickly became a fan favorite upon her debut in the show.
Benny, her main security guard that drove her to most of her events, smiled at her. “I can’t believe this is the last season. Are you excited about this panel?”
“Yeah, but I am also a bit sad. I will miss all my co-stars. They have become like family.”
Benny nodded as he brought his radio up to his face, “Miss. Strauss is on the move. Heading to the car now.”
The radio popped back, “Morgan is on the move too.”
“Alright see you there.” Benny said as he motioned for Veronica to walk with him. They made their way down a private elevator into the basement garage of the motel. Her eyes looked around the parking garage and smiled as she saw Jeffrey Dean Morgan heading to his car with his security team. 
Benny nodded to her as he held the door open for Veronica, allowing her to settle into the back of the car. 
As she settled in her phone gently vibrated, spreading a mile wide smile across her lips.
“You seem pretty composed after last night, Kitten.”
Blush crept onto her face as she looked down at her screen, “I may have had one too many drinks, but I assure you, Jeffrey, I’m fine.”
“I’ll take that as you had fun.”
Veronica laughed as she closed the text message thread. She leaned back in the car as Benny drove down the street to the Civic Center. 
“We’re about to pull in with Team Saviors.” He said over his radio.
“Are you referring to us as ‘Team Saviors?’ Lord, I would hate to hear everyone else's codes.” She laughed as they pulled to a stop right behind the car that was bringing Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the event. 
Benny got out of the driver's seat and came around the car to help her out as the fans screamed and took photos. 
Veronica moved to the other side of the car to get out as Benny opened the door. Her eyes went up as soon as she noticed that it wasn’t Benny’s hand that reached in for her. The very familiar tattoos of Jeffrey’s hand sent blush straight to her cheeks as he helped her out of the car. 
A shit eating grin played on his face at her reaction. “That’s quite a lovely color. And you wear my jewelry wonderfully.” He chuckled as he placed a hand on her back as they walked between the ropes that kept the fans at bay. Stopping to take photos, mingle and sign autographs. 
As soon as they entered the Civic center they were met with a few of their fellow co-stars lined up to head out to the panel.
She could hear the crowd cheering as the announcer, Chad Hardwick, began introducing the cast to walk out to the panel seating.
“You know them as Rick and Carl. Please welcome to the stage: Andrew Lincoln and Chandler Riggs.” The crowd roared to life as they stepped out onto the stage.
“The unexpected friends of the group, Euguene and Princess: Josh McDermitt and Paola Lázaro.”
 “The couple that’s not a couple but should be, Daryl and Carol: Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride.” The pair walked out smiling as they waved to the group. 
“The unstoppable force known as Maggie: Lauren Cohan.” She smiled as she stepped out waving back at Veronica and Jeffrey.
Jeffrey smiled as he placed his baseball bat, Lucille, on his shoulder and motioned for a microphone before they could be announced. 
“You ready, darlin?” Jeffrey smiled at her as he prepared to walk with her out the doors. 
“Yeah.” She smiled back as she kissed his cheek. No one on the cast knew that they had been secretly seeing each other since their debut together. Which made for some interesting encounters for both of them.
“Please welcome the duo you love to hate. Negan and Victoria: Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Veronica Strauss.” The crowd went wild. So loud that it was almost deafening as they opened the doors for them to walk out.
“Are we pissin’ our pants yet?” Jeffrey said into the microphone as they began to walk out. He hooked his arm around the end of Lucille so he could balance her on his shoulder while he still held the microphone. Placing his free hand on the small of Veronica’s back. 
“You can breathe, you can blink, you can fuckin’ cry. Oh hell you’re all going to be doing that!” He laughed as he switched hands with the microphone and pointed Lucille over the crowd. “Vicky, darlin’ any one of these shits stand out to you?” 
Veronica walked behind the panel and stopped behind Melissa McBride and raised her hands, causing the crowd to cheer. Then she moved down the line to Norman Reedus. Before she could raise her hands for the cheer, Norman turned around and wrapped her into a tight hug. 
After the crowd settled down the pair made their way to their seats. Sitting at the end, Veronica was smack dab between Jeffrey Dean Morgan and her best friend Paola Lázaro.
She laughed as Norman came down to them with his cell phone taking pictures of himself with everyone like he was one of the fan girls in the crowd.
Finally Norman sat down and Chad Hardwick started talking, Veronica’s mind started to drift to the night before. Noticing, Jeffrey smiled as his foot nudged over to her. 
He leaned over to whisper in Veronica’s ear as Paola’s eyes went wide next to her. “I know last night was fun, but focus, Kitten. There’ll be time for that later.”
Blush stained her cheeks as she turned back to the crowd. Attempting to bring her focus back to the panel.
“...and the dinner scene, even though we were all laughing it was really emotional.” Paola spoke into her microphone beside her.
“The amount of takes we had to do because we all started tearing up was starting to annoy the camera men.” Josh McDermitt added with a laugh. 
Chad Hardwick looked down the panel table as he spoke, “So were Carol and Daryl’s ending scenes scripted or did you guys actually cry?”
Melissa McBride chuckled as she looked at Norman, “Do we have to answer this one?”
The whole panel laughed along with the crowd at her answer.
“She started crying and that made me emotional. Thank god the camera switched to the back of us cuz by the end of it she had me in tears too.” Norman smiled as he grabbed his water bottle.
“Admit it, we all cried at least once in the last days of shooting.” Lauren Cohan spoke with nostalgia.
“Well, that brings me to my next question. Some of you will be seen in new spin offs of the show. I know that Lauren, Jeffrey and Veronica will be reunited in The Walking Dead: Dead City here soon. Are you all excited about that?”
Veronica smiled as she moved towards her microphone, “I’m personally excited to see how this one pans out. Victoria Hawkins meant a lot to me to play and I can’t wait to step back into her shoes.”
“The three of us coming together in character is more of a need than a fear between them now. They each have a reason for why they are in this.” Lauren looked down to Veronica and Jeffrey. 
“I like that. It’s more of a need than a fear. We’re getting those made into bumper stickers guys!” Jeffrey laughed as his hand went to go over the top of Veronica’s.
“I can’t wait to see how that show plays out with you three. It’s sure to be explosive!” Chad laughed as he turned back to his cards. “So we have time for a few fan questions.”
A young man dressed as a walker came up to the microphone with a nervous smile, “So my question is for Lauren, Jeffrey and Veronica. Since your characters have a shaky past with each other on The Walking Dead, does that impact your friendship in real life?”
Lauren laughed as Jeffrey looked at the two women with a shocked look.
“No, we are really good friends outside of the Walking Dead Universe.” Veronica chuckled as she smiled.
“All I can say is watch the bloopers reel on the DVD’s, you can see how many times we all broke character cuz we are all such good friends.” Jeffrey laughed as his arm snaked around the back of Veronica’s chair.
“I broke character because you two are so darn funny.” Lauren laughed as she looked down at the two, “You made it hard to work sometimes.”
Paola chimed in, “they really do.” The crowd started laughing.
Chad pointed out another fan to come to the microphone, this woman had blonde hair with red tips and dressed like she was at a funeral. “My question is for Jeffrey. Would I be able to take you out?”
His eyebrows furrowed together with a smirk crossing his lips, “like to dinner? On a date? With a sniper rifle?”
“Well since you offered it, maybe a date?” The girl dared to ask.
Jeffrey felt Veronica tense up a bit at her question and he glanced at her with a grin. “I have to politely decline. I’m already seeing someone.”
The room exploded in gasps including the panel. His response rocked the room in shock.
“What the hell?!” Norman Reedus blurted out, “Now's not the time to talk about us.”
Jeffrey laughed and smiled widely as the room all started buzzing about his comment. “Sorry, Norman, your cuddles just ain't cutting it anymore. I’m breaking up the bromance.”
Norman gasped and acted like he was heartbroken as the crowd hung on their every word.
The goth girl went back to her seat as an older guy stepped to the microphone. “Hey there, my name is Matt and my question is for Veronica. First off I want to say your dynamic and chemistry with Jeffrey on set was phenomenal. Was the intimate scenes with Jeffrey awkward? Like I bet they are now knowing he’s seeing someone.” The guy chuckled.
Veronica blushed deep red as he finished his question while Jeffrey chuckled looking over at her and leaning into the microphone.
“Well, Veronica, was it awkward?” His tone was playful as he smirked at her remembering the night before.
Veronica took a deep breath and smiled, “I didn't think they were. I actually enjoyed them a lot.”
The crowd cheered, making ohh and ahh sounds as they watched the pair. Paola even joined the group next to her. 
“Hey now! This panel is getting a little spicy!” Melissa McBride moved up to her microphone. 
“Now is that why you two were late to a couple shootings, because you were practicing?” Chandler Riggs chimed in with a chuckle.
This time Jeffrey turned a shade of red alongside Veronica. 
“And I wasn’t Invited!” Norman called from down the table.
Andrew Lincoln laughed as he blurted out, “Don’t feel bad I wasn't invited either!”
Veronica began giggling in embarrassment as the group joked with them. 
Jeffrey’s face suddenly went serious as he turned to Veronica, leaning in and whispering into her ear, “follow me.” He extended his hand to her as he stood up. 
Her eyes went wide as she took his hand, helping her out of the seat. Leading her towards the front of the panel table while holding a microphone in his other hand. Getting to the middle of the table, so that their co-stars could see along with the crowd.
Brining the microphone to his lips he smiled, “I think it’s time to blow it out the water. Four years of working with you and you are just as beautiful as the day I first met you. Veronica. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner for Negan than you.” His hand dug into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small box causing the room to roar with cheers. He dropped down to his knee, “four years of seeing you in secret, but now I want the world to know. Will you be my wife?”
Veronica blinked a few times as she stared at the ring in the box.
“Well, if you’re not gonna answer…” Norman laughed as he started to act like he was gonna climb over the table.
“Yes.” Her answer was not heard due to her not having a microphone. 
Norman wasn’t having it not be heard as he sat down on the table and yanked his microphone from the table. Holding it to her lips and motioning his hand for her to say it again.
“Yes, Jeffrey, a million times yes.” She exclaimed as he slipped the ring onto her finger and embraced her.
Out in the crowd two younger guys dressed as Sam and Dean Winchester yelled over the crowd, “GO DAD!” 
Jeffrey kissed Veronica with a chuckle, then turned to the crowd. Squinting looking for the boys who called out. “Sam, Dean. I told you both to wait at the hotel!” 
The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter as the panel came around the table to congratulate them.

Thinking about how crazy good bra/bcs are at creating memorable minor and micro characters - Jane and her father, Skinny Pete, Badger, the cousins, Tuco, Huell , the film crew, Mrs. Nguyen, Ernie, Lyle, Omar, Werner, Margarethe, Kai, the skater twins, Erin, Paige, Mr X, Rebecca, Ken Wins, Tortuga, Victor, Tyrus, Eladio, Juan Bolsa, Ciro, Yolanda, Kevin Wachtel, Cliff Main, Rick Schweikart, Wendy, the Kettlemans, Bill Oakley, Stacey and Kaylee, Krazy-8, Ted Beneke, Lydia, Todd, Amber and Jo, Marco, Francesca, Manuel, Dr Caldera, Irene, Mrs Strauss - they're all so memorable as if they'd been main characters themselves. Tuco was only in four eps of braba and three (but really two) of bcs. That's crazy!

Time for your Rock Report
Nita Strauss is returning to Alice Cooper's band for his 2023 tour, Cooper's management has disclosed. The Alice Cooper North American tour, with an all-new show dubbed "Too Close For Comfort," kicks off in late April in Michigan and continues through late September. The trek includes a handful of August stadium shows with Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe, followed by a co-headlining late summer "Freaks On Parade" tour with Rob Zombie. "She's Back!" Cooper said. "Nita asked for a leave of absence to work with someone else, something I always encourage my band members to do. I like them to challenge themselves and try new things. I'm thankful to my old friend Kane Roberts for stepping up and filling in for her, but she'll be back with us for the new tour that starts up in late April. It's going to be great to have her back. The top-rated guitarist had been with Cooper for several years until she departed to do a Fall 2022 tour with Demi Lovato.
Peter Gabriel has announced details of the long-awaited North American leg of "i/o - The Tour," a 2023 run across Europe and North America this spring and fall. Gabriel will perform in Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Fans should also stay tuned for future tour date announcements in Washington, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Denver, Austin, Dallas and Houston. "i/o - The Tour" will see Gabriel playing new material from his forthcoming album i/o, as well as delving into his catalogue of music.
Roger Waters recently shared a snippet of music from his re-recorded version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, which celebrated its 50th anniversary on March 1. Waters shared a 52-second clip on YouTube, showing him listening to the first verse of a reworked "Us and Them" in the studio. He also posted a lengthy description of the project, which does not feature his former bandmates. "We are now in the process of finishing the final mix. It's turned out really great and I'm excited for everyone to hear it. It's not a replacement for the original which, obviously, is irreplaceable," Waters said. "But it is a way for the 79-year-old man to look back across the intervening 50 years into the eyes of the 29-year-old and say, to quote a poem of mine about my father, 'We did our best, we kept his trust, our Dad would have been proud of us.'"
He added, "And also it is a way for me to honour a recording that Nick and Rick and Dave and I have every right to be very proud of."
