I’ll probably sound like an asshole here, but when I wrote The Perilous Night (in Aug 2017) people said it was over the top and overly polemic. Reading the redacted affidavit, I think I was spot fucking on. Every word of The Unraveling holds up as goddamned truth.
@pattersonhood We thought that from first hearing the song.
@pattersonhood Every word is the damn truth. You nailed it all.
@pattersonhood I remember listening to it over and over, feeling/knowing finally someone was describing what was going on.
@pattersonhood Hyperbole is a thing of the past.
@pattersonhood And The New Ok! Hopefully Trump is in for shame and comeuppance. Sadly there’s a long line of grievance merchants ready to play the part of him.
@pattersonhood You’re the man, Patterson! One of the greatest writers alive! 🖤
@pattersonhood The entire album was, and remains, chilling.
@pattersonhood In 2011 when I said we weren't that far from Gilead, people laughed — literally. And yet, here we are, forcing children to carry pregnancies. Just because you see what others can't doesn't mean you're wrong.
