What are you working on right now, in terms of literary, artistic and musical pursuits?
White Collar Crime is about to go on a three week tour of the US and Canada. Right at the start of this tour, I’m launching sanderhicks.com and a new print newspaper, The Times of Crime, a place to print new political writing and big picture historical reporting. I just took a part time job being an organizer for a community group fighting racism here in Long Island. I’m booking punk shows sometimes. I’m supposed to be writing a play but I haven’t been too good at getting that started. To make money for the van before tour I’ve been working as a carpenter, outside, up in the air on a ladder, hammering cedar clapboard siding onto gargantuan homes of the ultra-rich. Sometimes you get tired, and you just want to say, well, for someone to build a house this ugly and this huge, they MUST have done something to deserve this much money. But then I say, no, you’re just getting tired. No one deserves to build a pizza hut pyramid-shaped monstrosity such as this, no one deserves to have this much
