Jeremiah:
I'm Mad as Hell
These essays come
from a monthly newsletter titled Jeremiah: I'm
Mad as Hell that I published between January 1986
and December 1986, when we were living in Croton-on-Hudson,
New York. My promo for it said, "will raise your
hackles and your consciousness, will not be like anything
else you've ever read. Irreverent, daring, iconoclastic,
funny." I'd never before had a forum for general
commentary on cultural issues, so this was an experiment
for me in both form and content.
I charged $2.50
for a single issue, $10.00 for an introductory 4-month
subscription; a full one-year (12 issues) subscription
cost $25.00. At its peak, it had 49 subscribers. Back
issues remain available at $2.50/issue; click here
if interested. All orders must be prepaid; checks
payable to Earl Coleman.
