Sports biography at its best. Rich in period detail, anecdote, and fresh perspective, Strong Boy paints both the good and the bad sides of success, as America’s growing celebrity culture turned a simple Irish American gladiator into a national, in fact international hero. A very human story with profound parallels for our sports-obsessed culture today! Picture Quote #1

This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don’t want to live my life like that, and I don’t want to be a typical pop star Picture Quote #1

Feckless as it was for Bush to ask Americans to go shopping after 9/11, we all too enthusiastically followed his lead, whether we were wealthy, working-class or in between. We spent a decade feasting on easy money, don’t-pay-as-you-go consumerism and a metastasizing celebrity culture Picture Quote #1

Even when writing your own poems, you need to talk to people; you need to magpie around, getting words and things. I’m very against the celebrity culture that wants to say: ‘this is a genius, this is one person who has done something brilliant.’ There are always a hundred people in the background who have helped to make it Picture Quote #1

You can assess a culture to a degree by the way they receive movies and how they receive a given celebrity Picture Quote #1

I’m a pop culture junkie. I’m a People magazine reader, an US Weekly subscriber; all of those celebrity magazines get my dollar Picture Quote #1

On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it’s easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there. When they smile - right, you’ve seen people stop - all of a sudden, life is being lived there, somewhere up in that weird, dense network Picture Quote #1

From the beginning of church history, music, writing, literature, and the greatest works of art all came from the church. To change the culture and make it a force for good, you have to be in it and be a part of it Picture Quote #1

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change Picture Quote #1

I think as the world changes, we have to keep up. We have to note what is happening, and I think writing has always had a powerful corrective influence and possibility.
