We hope as you enjoy your weekend you’ll also find some time to kick back and survey some of the best writing from around the web.
- The Harvard Crimson’s 2004 Profile of Mark Zuckerberg.
- Back when Facebook was still “The Facebook”—and Zuckerberg was still at Harvard–the university’s college paper profiled its most curious student.
- How David Bowie and ‘Trainspotting’ Saved Iggy Pop
- “Of all the careers Bowie helped start or restart—Lou Reed, Luther Vandross, Stevie Ray Vaughan—no one benefited from his touch quite as much as Iggy Pop. Pop has spoken at length about the degree to which Bowie propped up his failing career in the late ’70s, co-writing and recording Pop’s two first (and still most critically beloved) solo records, The Idiot and Lust for Life. “Basically this guy salvaged me from certain professional and maybe personal annihilation—he resurrected me,” he told the New York Times.”
- The Big Money Question at the Sanders-Clinton Debate
- “From the first moments of the debate, Sanders spoke, as he often does, about how “big money controls the political process in this country.” Given Clinton’s résumé, that is as much to say that big money controls her—Clinton, at least, seems to hear it that way.”
Enjoy your weekend and we’ll see you next week!
