Also, not to spoil his mystique or anything, but just to let you know, Steven in person is a bit different from what you might expect from reading stuff at his site. He's actually a relatively normal looking regular citizen. Except perhaps for the Hello Kitty bag. AT,

If you admire the man, so be it. I used 'hippy' in its pejorative sense, not to indicate that Schultz is a Flower Power advocate. And yup, I could be Herb Caen, except that he's dead. So has the guy gotten himself a job yet? Would appreciate any updates. Point taken re. my remark. If you admire the man, so be it.

But I don't. And I don't think most other readers do either. And where do you get "hippy" from? I don't see any peace signs or stuff about flower power on the site. Or "jam band" reviews. Hey, wait, I bet you're Herb Caen? C'mon, no need to post anonymously, Herb. We know who you are. But the 60s ended more than 30 years ago, man. Hippies are scare now. And most of them don't run websites that cover stuff like X-rated Ultraman videos. AT wrote:

Tokyo Damage Report does. From what Schultz writes about himself, who would hire him? He's dug himself a large hole by choosing to be (or portraying himself as) some weird messed-up hippy, thus rendering himself largely unemployable. Sure it's funny, but you laugh half in pity for the author. On the other hand, Schultz has written and photographed some great original content. I'd like to see him continue to create more. If only he could see through his own drugged and drunken haze. Schultz doesn’t deserve a sponsor. Tokyo Damage Report does.
