I got through Monday sitting in the surgery waiting room watching YouTube clips of Tom Snyder interviewing Harlan Ellison. I started taking notes on audio I wanted to share and this episode is the result. The audio comes from several different interviews. Tom interviewed Harlan quite a few times over the years. I find what both of them said to be quite fascinating and profound. In my opinion, this is a must-hear episode for any creative person.
