To call Larry "Ratso" Sloman a writer is not at all inaccurate - he is a writer. But he's so much more. Sloman perfected the art of hanging out and he turned that art into a career. Here he talks about how studying sociology influenced his thinking and gave him a way to be inside the revolution and outside at the same time. Allen Ginsberg, The Fugs, Abbie Hoffman, Al Goldstein (Screw Magazine), Kinky Friedman, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Cale, Rolling Stone Magazine, Howard Stern, Anthony Kiedis, High Times Magazine… they all make prominent appearances in our conversation. On fashion: "Not to boast but I always had a good sense of unique fashion. I mean I was wearing rabbinical coats way before Gaultier was doing them." On writing: "It's like building a house. You have to have a great foundation. Have a great beginning and great ending. You can get away with a lot of sh$t in the middle." On celebrity: "They don't want someone to put them on a pedestal."
