Distant-author

A writer who was born in one country and had to leave her motherland for certain reasons and became a citizen of another one and writes about the people, culture etc. of her original country with the help of her imagination.

So, the manner of trying to imagine and describe about the motherland and its people deserves esteem. I think that we should coin a new term, i.e. “distant-author” and add it to Lahiri’s name since she, being a part of another country, has taken the help of ‘imagination’ and depicted her India the way she has wanted to; the writer must have every possible right to paint the world the way he/she thinks appropriate.

Authority Zero

Best fucking punk band out there. They're mostly punk but combine some reggae and ska. They're basically one part Sublime and one part Pennywise. They have a lot of Spanish and Portuguese influences in their music too and they have lyrics in both of these languages.

It pisses me off that so few people actually know who they are, even though they released two CDs with a major label (Lava). Buy/download their shit ASAP. I can't really pick a favorite song since they're all good, but try downloading "Lying Awake." When the lead singer was asked about mp3's, he said "i think it's rad" so don't feel guilty about it.

Authority Zero is a band from Mesa, Arizona, USA, Earth, Solar System, some galaxy

The greatest punk band in the world! They are amazing live and never disappoint the masses of people who go to their shows. They sound like a mix between Sublime and Offspring, and their acoustic album "Rythm and Booze" is the best. They are a local AZ band, the shows stay small and intimate so that the real fans can enjoy. Im somewhat glad that they are not a commercial band, and would love for them to stay somewhat underground...A Passage In Time is best CD! Jason Devore, the lead singer also has a solo album out that kicks ass!

Authority Zero never disappoints
