Any point in including a dismbig. message directing to the hip fin-de-siecle journalist-novelist Tom Wolfe? Ellsworth 15:49, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
No point in discussing that at all! Thomas Wolfe should not be confused with pedestrian pop-icon Tom Wolfe, the James Michener of the baby boomers, who thinks wearing a Colonel Sanders/ice cream salesman suit all the time-a stereotype of the pathetic post Civil War Southern gentry-is some kind of cachet cool. He embodies exactly the type of respectable polite middle class society Thomas Wolfe had nothing but contempt for.
- Absolutely, Ellsworth. Since no one has yet done it in 7 months, I'll Be bold and do it. I'm curious about the quote "You can't go home again." I think I've actually seen newspaper articles that seem to attribute that to Tom Wolfe, which is exactly why I cam here. So I will try to investigate and later include that fact in both articles. I also want to include Tom Wolfe in List of notable eccentrics, since I remember him as the guy in the white suit. Spalding 12:06, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
