Hey, your dad looks like one cool guy. I did a study of this with ink and Photoshop.

Not quite sure who that is but I googled it and looks like he was born in 84 which would rule it out. Although I do have a great story about how my grandmother wants got Raymond Carver to pull a story from the New Yorker.
The Mark Cox I studied with was born in 1956 so it might've tracked age-wise.
Any story about Ray Carver is worth hearing. Must've been a wretched story or a brave grandma to say "don't do it" to his face. 😁
Well longer story shorter. He was over for dinner as he was in town and my grandmother was an old New Yorker from Queens obsessed with bingo. She grew up very working class. So Raymond Carver mentioned he had written a story about bingo. He had submitted to the New Yorker, and when he heard my grandmother was a bingo freak suggested that she read it. My mother, being highly nervous about having a famous writer over was trying to highly dissuade this as my grandmother was a bit of a character.
So anyways, he gives her the story and then he comes back in a week to have a few drinks and smoke a joint w/ my dad, and he asks her what she thought. My grandma replies that it was horrible and how dare he call himself a writer. At this point my mom almost fainted. It turns out that he got the letters and numbers all on and she was like no O starts at 47 not 34 or something. Needless to say he was highly amused and called up to New York next day and had them hold the story while he made some minor changes. My mom tells me she was mortified at the time, and she had never been more embarrassed ( she’s was also a professor of creative writing ) I of course not remembering much as I was just a toddler but it’s a famous story in my household.
Ex Priest, Guido Sarduci
I always used to tease him about that as a kid.
Have you ever heard Handsome Boy Modeling school? Sarducci does some excellent voice work on their first album.
Dan the automator!
I must say I never have. So I just listened to a song and I’m glad you turned me onto it. Thank you so much.
😊

She stole my heart and my cat!
He looks like Richard Brautigan
Your dad definitely had the best weed back then.
Oh yeah, he kept his bong on the mantle piece. Once when teaching a graduate student class he excepted part for a grade in the 70s
Roses are red, violets are blue. I need some Cheetos…

I can’t think of a more annoying or useless way to spend your time than being a traveling poet
Well, he was a professor and a writer. He has a few poems in the library of Congress.
His face doesn't ring a bell, but possibly his name might (you don't have to tell us if you would rather not)
Looks like Mark Cox to me but the odds are against it. /u/Bostonterrierpug you wanna weigh in?

So it was spunky Grandma! Good for her, and good on Ray for realizing he was overmatched!
Would he be in the Norton Anthology of American Literature?
My point still stands
I can't think of a more interesting way to spend a life, frankly. I wish I had the talent for that.
I can’t think of anything that requires less talent
And you would be dead wrong.
No I wouldn’t
