That is to say, Heck was featured in last week’s San Francisco Chronicle.
I had a wonderful conversation with the charming and shrewd Regan McMahon. I worked at the Chronicle just out of high school, working part-time as a copyboy while going to art school (I needed money to buy neon gas and Super-8 movie film), then as an Editorial Assistant in the Datebook section, and finally—some eight years later—being honorably discharged. You think Heck is weird? Life is weirder!

Radio—the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves of radio frequency, especially those carrying sound messages—is a medium you don’t hear about much anymore, unless you have a metal plate in your head and can pick up KRAP, that new all rap station in Kalamazoo. In any case, Steve Lindsley of Portland’s KEX Radio called me to chat a bit about Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go. Listen to it: IF YOU DARE. dale-basye4
