Great interview! Hope you are living the rock star lifestyle ow ;D

And yes I will be singing this all day!

Because I know you grew up in the era where Rolling Stone magazine influenced American culture by showcasing the current sights, sounds, celebrity, etc.

But I don't care how difficult the times are when it comes to selling magazines off the racks when the internet is kicking your ass. Putting one of the culprits of the Boston Marathon bombing on their cover for the sake of publicity and sales is in extremely poor taste.

The good far outweighs the bad for Rolling Stone's publishing history. But that particular issue is forever indelible to me.

I hate to be that guy because you're obviously proud. Which you should be. The genius of your work is attracting the attention of millions more each year.

Whatever gets you through the night man.

I'm not one to argue politics, they lead to nowhere except boredom. The only reason I brought it up is because it's been a year since the events and I was discussing this cover on. Mon.

I Just think Rolling Stone should reserve the cover for artists not mass murderers.

OK this was an exceptional response! Especially for anyone that actually READ the article rather than just reacting to the cover.

Quick question: in an interview you said you were "hoping for 2/3 seasons for AFFC & ADWD each"

...

Plz tell me you were joking. Just. please.

Sweet! You've achieved one of my boyhood fantasies. Congrats!

I really enjoyed the interview. Congratulations!

nice interview. and Congratulations..! :)

It is cool, isn't it? I've got a copy on hold at the newsstand. It's not the biggest feather in your cap, but it's got to be one of the shiniest.

Steve and his partner, Mark, have been playing that song for a while now and it always gets the expected reaction, complete with cell-phone lights (no lighters, alas). Congrats on the interview.

I had the feeling you really enjoyed that interview. Congratulation! I'm sure your mother would be bursting out of pride :)

I wanted to let you know that I was really moved about the passage where you talked about redemption. We judge so quickly nowadays and hold on to grudges with an energy we can't seem to summon up for much else. I don't have any problems with your characters. That's practically why I read those books. I'm happy getting into the head of those complex characters and love the greyest to pieces but it's different and so much harder to try and forgive in real life. Especially with people who are naturally close to you. The things you said made me really question myself and my behavior towards people I have huge issues with. I'm pretty sure I can't let go of all the anger over night but I really should be able to try here and there when at the same time I have a huge place in my heart for a (fictional) man who pushed a little boy out of the window.

I'm really glad that you are on this earth and were given a public voice!

Congrats, George! Your pic might not be on the cover, but your name is - and in big letters!

Yeeeees! :D

I think I would've preferred a cover on Creem, but that's not possible anymore (& no novelty song). Enjoyed the interview, I wanna visit Hadrian's wall someday!

livin' la vida loca
I've kind of wondered what you take notice of with The Biggest Thing Since Harry Potter.

Now I wonder how long it's been since you got a new interview question.

You mention (in one of the interviews of you that I read today) that you are great friends with Phyllis Eisenstein. Is there any way you can help her turn her "finished but not published" books into published books?!?

A couple of months ago, I was making a question set for QuizUp and just needed to check a detail in "Sorcerer's Son." The next thing I know I've re-read SS and "The Crystal Palace" for the nth time again. It kills me that there's a sequel completed and finished that I cannot read.

WRT QuizUp and you, the "Tuf Voyaging", "Way of Cross and Dragon" and "RR initials" questions were all me, among many others. 8-)
