Norman Mailer, the literary icon who helped frame New Journalism, died from acute renal Rosetta Stone V3 failure today in Manhattan at the age of eighty-four. Rosetta Stone spoke with the author for the first of our Fortieth Anniversary issues earlier this year, and in a sprawling interview with Mark Binelli, Mailer spoke out about taking drugs, President Bush and the future of America. Click here to read the entire interview, and click below to listen to audio from that QA.On marijuanas superiority to psychedelics for tapping into lifes mysteries, and why Timothy Leary was a "vapid asshole":On why Bush wouldve committed Hari Kari by now if he really cared about America, and what exactly Nixons "inner light" mightve smelled like:On the pursuit of knowledge in the "deadening" mediocrity of the Internet age:On whos cut out for the Oval Office in 2008 -- and why being a phony can be a good thing:On why TV commercials are the anti-Proust. The Rosetta Stone Software time was ripe for a film to catapult their dark legend evenhigher.By giving nearly everyone that traveled with the band a camera,Frank successfully insured that hed get some candid material. Theultimate irony of that technique, however, is that while everyonehad a camera, there was really very little to film. In one scene,for example, Mick, Bianca Jagger, and a soundman film each othersimply standing in a hallway, too bored or stoned to do anythingmore.Franks mixing of grainy black-and-white footage with Super-8color makes it impossible to tell what time it is at any point inthe film. The light is always the gray that could be dusk or dawn,and the bands sobriety is no sure measure of the time of day. Theresult is a feeling of timelessness, of being trapped in themalaise of purgatory including the continual waiting game Rosetta Stone Chinese V3 betweenshows, played out in hotel rooms, planes and concrete-walleddressing rooms.
