I'm reading a Chuck Klosterman book now. You know, the one where he examines how David Koresh of the Branch Davidians cult that burned up at Waco, Texas was really very similar to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana? Both messianic leaders who cultivated a loyal following. Leading to blackness.
Klosterman quotes Frank Herbert from Herbert's novel "Dune." I never read the book, could barely watch David Lynch's big-budget, really crummy, and barely-watchable movie of it. But I came across this great quote from Herbert, via Klosterman...
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to be solved, but a reality to experience." F. Herbert
