Having a Weird History drink!
Drinking SHASTA BLACK CHERRY. while watching this Weird History video!
I drank this pop when I watched the horror film Stopmotion (then drank Orange Spice Ice Tea while watching The First Omen again) on 6/6.
Actress Aisling Franciosi was born on 6/6 and The First Omen (a film where 6/6 is a main plotine) is Nell Tiger Free's first lead role!
From the Weird History video How Shasta Gets Away With Imitating Coke
I bought it in a 12-pack of cans at Bomgaars for $4. 00, a checkout clerk told me it was her favorite type of Shasta and how much they drank it when she was a child.

Carrie is one of my fave books & movies. This sounds weird but I've read Carrie hundreds of times but each time it's like the book is different especially the ending, like the book actually changes. It's the same with my most fave book Picnic At Hanging Rock & the movie of the same name is brilliant also, one of my fave movies, an Aussie classic. I only read three books, Carrie, Picnic At Hanging Rock & Jaws. Not interested in any other, i tried Donny Darko since the millionth time of watching the movie i was still confused but reading the book over & cover just made me even more confused but i am a bit of a dumbarse so.

it seems that Rage was a warning, just like most dystopian novels back in the 40s and 50s, about how neglect can make a child shunned by a village burn it down just to feel its warmth they were denied.
and they chose to ignore the red elephant in the room: child abuse is rampant in late-stage capitalism laced with a perverse form of Calvinism Protestant work ethics. the true culture war we need to fight against is American Exceptionalism, 2nd Amendment obsessions, and victim-blaming, and we need to have a cultural paradigm shift in favor of egalitarianism, empathy, and class/caste abolition.

It's a Catch-22 type of situation. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
For Stephen King to be the author he is today writing Rage had to be because that is a part of that process that makes King who he is today.
Once the connections to the books and the incidents were made in the public domain, it became a slippery slope. I understand the need to remove the book but by removing the book, it only created more controversy and more demand for the book.

It's a book. a fictional story from a great author. If someone becomes fixated on the book, character or act of violence in that book then it's them not the story told. We can't stop creative writers, performers or artists from creating! It's a job like any other job. If we stopped all controversial topics from being written there would be no books. I don't want to know a world where authors are afraid to write and where there are no books.

I’m okay with it being pulled since it was the author themself that made that decision on their own. I think people are always going to look for excuses to do terrible things and some people are impressionable to the point it may be a factor, but I don’t think that’s a reason to stifle art. But if the author is uncomfortable with it’s influence then that’s their personal decision to make.

As a adult who struggled in school and was picking on, i get it,
There's multiple layers to everything.
Every one does things for different reasons.
But people want neat and tidey that's what is wrong.
People want a blanket fix.
A blanket fix is just a bandaid on a head wound.
People think restrictions and removal is the fix, but is still a bandaid on a head wound.

King is a genius. That said, its morally wrong to make any literature unavailable based on ideology and/or edit it for 'modern audiences'.
Society has bad things. Writing about those bad things doesn't make them happen, but ignoring their underlying causes will guarantee them to happen. Poverty, harm of children, inequality - these are all way more offensive than 'Rage'.

I know I'm going to get a bunch of thumbs down for this comment, but Stephen King is actually a very evil man, who is heavily influenced by demons. Where do you think he gets all those words and ideas Wake up, people! Demons exist and they're all around us. They influence our tv and film entertainment, music, art, literature, magazines, advertisements and so much more.

Yeah, King did a long essay about guns in America, and talked about this book and how it kept popping up in the news like a modern day Catcher in the Rye.
Side note: I did a narration of one of his short stories, _Survivor Type_ on YT.
Got 20k listens before Steve told me to take it down.
Ever been gut punched by one of your childhood heroes
Not fun.

Tbh if I had known king wrote that when he was a kid I would’ve been very concerned. It makes sense that it was pulled from schools but compared to some of the other material he’s written about (namely the short stories) idk I would just ban all king books from schools lol. (This is coming from a huge fan, and I’ve read some Bachman too.

I was a voracious reader and obsessed with horror films as a young teen in the early 1980s. I read everything that King ever wrote multiple times. Even at the time I never cared much tor 'Rage'. IMO one of his lesser works and by far the weakest entry in 'The Bachman Books'. Much prefer the other three stories, especially ' The Long Walk'.

I’m 43 and been reading King since I was about 10. This is TRULY the most difficult King book to find I’ve been wanting to read this because of being a severely abused child myself. I enjoy reading books that have similar life stories as me. Even though it’s fiction, it reminds me we were all dealing with crazy shyt as kids.

I have to disagree. I'm pretty sure the book Stephen King hates the most is Dreamcatcher. He wrote while recovering from being run over & he feels it was just awful, because of the painkillers. It's only enjoyable in a so bad it's good way. It's the room of books & it came from an otherwise excellent author.

0: 53 Hail to the king, baby is a line in the film Army of Darkness, the third installation of the Evil Dead Trilogy.
I bought the Bones coffee flavor Army of Dark, fantastic coffee!
Stephen King's public praise for the first Evil Dead film was intregral for the promotion of the film!

Thanks for the synopsis. I stopped listening at 2: 41 because, already, enough said! I've read a TON of King, some of them several times---a couple of them only once (never again) and this one I will be happy to skip, permanently. No Thanks, Steve-O!

Rage was a short story that he fleshed out into a book under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. The short story was fine, but the book was a stretch. He also used a cigarette lighter stopping a bullet gimmick in another one of his novels. 3 out of 10.

There are tons of instruction manuals out nowadays: Nineteen-Eighty-Four, Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange, The Hunger Games. I hope nobody uses Twilight as an instructional; hate the emo vampire motif.

I think my grandmother or my aunt had this book, first paperpack edition, and in all likelihood sold it at a farage sale for $0. 10 or $0. 25 back in the early 80s. Damn, that would pay for a decent vacation lol

Stephen King uses ghost writers. He's an illiterate fraud who can't string two words together into a coherent sentence. Seriously, have you even heard him talk He just goes off into bizarre rants.
