Thanks for the heads-up Slim. My daughter just bought his book, "The Heart-Shaped" Box, which received good reviews. I'll have to give it a read.
Who here knows who "Joe Hill" is?

I knew who he was as soon as I saw a photo--that kid is the spittin' image of his daddy (who dedicated The Shining to him).
I didn't know that "Hill" was short for "Hillstrom"--I thought ol' Stephen King had named him after the murdered labor organizer.
I've got a version of Paul Robeson singing "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" (it's on Smithsonian Recordings in a collection of labor songs) that will send chills up your arms.
