Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze
Tumblr media
This movie came out in 1975 and I’ll be blunt: it has not aged well. You can take that as a warning.
In fact, you find yourself in various states of cringing, laughing hysterically and wincing at how mind-numbingly “campy” this movie is. It would help a lot to remember that this movie was made in a different era, with a different vibe throbbing in the culture. Personally, I watched this movie not just for the memories but to perform a symbolic gesture of sorts; like a wink to a beloved ex-girlfriend who you may have connected with recently.   
So if you are still curious enough to continue reading this review though, you’ll get to know more about arguably THE first superhero ever! The prototype from which all the other modern costumed, world-saving, aliens/monsters/despot-fighting paladins found their inspiration from.    
But first, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Way down. Thirty-eight years ago to be exact. . .  
I grew up with American comics. I was just a Malay kid who was so fascinated with this wondrous world of mighty men battling equally mighty villains. My memory is a bit hazy but I do remember that, as a scrawny 7-year old in 1982, I fondly remember clutching my first comic book with a stupid grin on my face as I left the store selling PX goods and “stateside” items (it was an issue of “The Flash” by the way). This literally and figuratively, colorful piece of literature not only served to enhance my facility with the English language but it also introduced me to a large slice of Americana in all its “Western” ways.
Later, this love of the colored pages unknowingly led me to appreciate another, more ancient kind of literature as soon as I was able to intellectually grasp it: mythology. I graduated from skin-tight, super-powered, 2D heroes to flexing my imagination about ancient stories of immortal gods who could throw lightning bolts, imprison giants, and command the elements. Was I sensing a familiar pattern here?
That underlying pattern, I ultimately found later in university, was called the archetype. To those unfamiliar, the archetype as is known in various fields of studies is basically an image or representation of a grander ideal that we recognize readily when we see it. When you see these beings, your insides get flooded with inspiration and comfort because you know they embody strength, protection, justice, restoring balance and all that good stuff. Such symbols have been around since the dawn of humanity simply because they give us an ideal to aspire to and not be simply hairy meat bags existing just to make it to another day.    
So who is Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze exactly? Created in 1933 (Yes, he’s that old. Years later, some super-strong alien with a big letter “S” on his chest would also rip-off the idea of having a Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic and be called “Man of Steel” instead, but let’s not talk about him. . .) from a time that was before the modern comic book format. This was the era of the so-called pulp magazines, circa 1890’s to the 1950s. As the name implies, the paper used was made from wood pulp material with the pages having rough, untrimmed edges very different from the higher-quality paper used in magazines. In terms of literary style, think of them as short, “cheap”, unsophisticated works of fiction for mass consumption with almost no illustrations. Thus, the reader defaults to his/her imagination for further immersive experience. The heroes at this time were in the truest sense crimefighters or ordinary men having heroic exploits by uncovering plots and bringing wrongdoers to justice.
Clark “Doc” Savage Jr. would be the template for the rich, over-achieving polymath industrialist with limitless resources (think Batman, Ironman and Black Panther with a bit of Robin Hood thrown in). He was raised to be the peak of manly perfection having unmatched athletic ability, a photographic memory plus an inventive intellect that would rival Da Vinci or Newton and the discipline that would make a Special Forces operator blush! To add to his already considerable arsenal was his cadre: The Fabulous Five. This crew was made-up of his previous military comrades that included an industrial chemist, a construction engineer, a high-level electrician, a renowned archaeologist/geologist, and even a noted Harvard lawyer. Banding together with Doc taking the lead, they pooled their various skillsets and traveled the world having adventures and fighting for justice. Above all else, Doc Savage apparently had a character that was closest to the ideal of all humanity. This was exemplified in “The Oath” he and his team strove to live by: 
“Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it. Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice. Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do. Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.”
Finally, the blessed movie itself. I really believe they could have treated the material better. If you’re a fan of the clownish Batman TV series of the 1960’s, you’ll feel right at home with how the makers of this film approached it. The ridiculously cartoonish characters, the contrived banter/bickering dialog between the team, the mediocre special effects, the lack of depth of emotion. . . Do I really need to go on?  I should let you know I’ve never had a colonoscopy before, but I imagine this would be the closest experience to it, with the procedure being done to you with minimal anesthetic as possible!  
If this movie had any saving grace whatsoever, it would be lead actor Ron Ely (“Tarzan” TV series of the 1960s). If we’re looking for an archetype of the “ubermensch”, Ely is the closest we have of him with his obvious manly presence and the dignity he carried himself with was convincing. That being said, the grand final fight scene between him and the villain/criminal mastermind apparently displaying their mutual mastery of several martial arts is best watched with strong liquor of your choice. Trust me; it helps numb the cringe!   
Yes, this movie was indeed like reconnecting with an old flame. The memories, both good and bad come tumbling back (mostly the good though), but REALITY suddenly comes down hard like the current jealous partner! That was then, this is now. It gives you pause to think that perhaps there’s a reason why it was only good in the past, and that is so you could appreciate what you have NOW in the present.   
Doc Savage has a tremendous amount of potential if given the right elements for proper flimhood. Still hoping this granddaddy of superheroes gets to have a worthy remake one day!

This is so completely random, but you're very probably the only Batfam Stan that also loves the Superfam and knows the various members of both families. I was wondering, in your mind, which members of the Superfamily match up with which members of the Batfamily? Like for instance, I've always firmly believed that Linda-Mae matches up with Dick, while Karen goes with Helena. As far as Babs goes, they share her.
If I’m reading you correctly, you’re asking who roughly inhabits the same spots in the Superfam that the Batfam has, yes? It’s really a fascinating question because I think there are lots of comparisons to be made, but it’s also interesting because of the ways they don’t line up perfectly. Like there’s a big difference in their structure just by the fact that Lois is the clear matriarch of the family and almost none of the Superfam have been without a relationship with her. So getting comparisons for some positions does tend to get a little fuzzy. So, I’m just going to go through the family one by one, starting with the most obvious which is Clark and Bruce. 
Clark Kent: Obviously as the central family patriarch and the one who basically inspires everyone else to come into their own while attempting to live up to his impossible image, Clark is the most Bruce-like in comparisons. Which of course, their similarities are as strong as their differences which has been the source of their mutual respect and friendship over the decades and just make them incredibly fascinating characters to play off of each other in almost any circumstance. 
Lois Lane: In recent years Kate has kind of stepped up to be the momma of the Batfam in a sense, and to be Bruce’s equal which would be representative of Lois and Clark’s equal footing in their relationship, but Kate’s got much less of a background for this position and for obvious reasons her relationship with Bruce is nothing like Lois’. In that way I would put Lois much more as a Selina Kyle. They share a street smarts and sassiness, prefer to look out for themselves but can’t help but fall into the same circles as their romantic interests, and in most realities end up married. It’s not a perfect fit, but I would argue it on more than a few grounds. 
Jimmy Olsen: Definitely the Dick Grayson of the Superfam. Not only is he Superman’s pal, but he’s sort of the emotional bond that keeps a lot of the Superfam connected. He’s not only trusted by both Clark and Lois and inspired by both of them, but he’s also a confidante and romantic interest for Kara, was a friend to Linda, and in general is someone who is just by definition associated with Superman. It’s an iconic duo in a lesser sense than Bruce and Dick. 
Martha Kent: Originally I was going to say Pa is the Alfred, but honestly Martha Kent is most definitely the Alfred Pennyworth of the Superfamily. She is a supportive and endearing voice, full of wit, and is the first person Clark goes to when he needs advice or solace. She is beloved by all of the Superfam members and has ben denmother/actual mother to nearly all of them in one sense or another. 
Jonathan Kent: The more I think about it, the more I find that Pa is really a lot like Leslie Thompkins in Clark’s life. He has a bit of a harsher vibe to him and his disappointment is something that Clark is more conscious and fearful of, but it all stems from firm morality and a fear and protectiveness of his son. He is the guiding light for Clark’s humanity and is the sort of man that Clark tries to live up to without ever feeling he can fully achieve it. And all that despite clearly having well defined flaws of his own. 
Lana Lang: Hilariously enough, I would put Lana on the level of a far more important and far more relevant and updated Vicki Vale. Again this seems like a strained comparison (because it is) but she’s a former romantic interest and friend to Clark who loves him but also couldn’t deal as well with realizing that he is Superman or at least that he’s something beyond her comprehension. And there’s still some pining and nonsense there, fortunately Lana is with John Henry now and written much better. Speaking of which...
John Henry Irons: A less murdery and more accepted member of the Superfam than his Batfam equivalent, John Henry Irons is a lot like Helena Bertinelli in that they both were inspired by the “patriarchs” of the family, but did things in their own style and in their own ways. He relies on his background and heritage as much as Helena does and it has influenced him to where he is today. 
Kara Zor-El: An apt comparison for Kara is actually Barbara Gordon. Not only were they good friends in the Bronze Age, but they were similarly motivated. Despite both of them having just as much heartbreak and tragedy in their lives as Batman or Superman, they make the choice to not be defined by that and instead to invent their superhero identities as a way of fulfilling an obligation they feel either to law and order or to the sense of not wanting to lose their adopted new home to the same forces that took their old one. 
Natasha Irons: Is absolutely the Superfam’s Stephanie Brown for better or worse. Nat is selfmade, has a family history of criminal activity but chooses to follow her uncle and Superman’s influences instead to make herself a superhero. Despite all she achieves, for absolutely no reason that makes canonical sense to... anyone who’s read it, basically, John abruptly decides she’s undeserving of her suit and takes it from her? That causes her to make some mistakes and play into a trap by one of the family’s worst enemies and get held hostage and tortured. Fortunately she wasn’t needlessly killed like Steph, but she did come back in spectacular fashion. 
Mae Kent: Mae is a completely different character from Linda Danvers. Mostly. Kind of. So I’m going to treat them as such on this list. Mae is actually Clark’s adopted sister in the preboot and was taken in and cared for by Ma and Pa Kent. She’s fairly independent, making a name for herself outside of Clark even if they continued to have a good relationship. When Clark dies for a year, she is one of the top contenders for taking his place and becoming a surrogate Superman herself. In this way she most reminds me of Kate Kane, self-made while deeply connected to the family patriarch and sharing a family bond. 
Karen Starr: Completely depends on which version you’re going with but if you’re going with the most common, the preboot, I think Karen is the most like Harper Row. She’s a solid member of the family, but she’s also beyond the family, and it’s not in a bad sense. She’s still connected to everyone, and every inventive and set apart almost purely based on her industriousness (making her business empire!) but as much as she does team up with everyone and join frays, she’s mostly off on her own adventures these days and most of her drama comes from civilian life rather than just her time as Power Girl.
Kon-El: This is going to be so freaking controversial but here we are. If I was to pick any analogue in the Batfam for Kon it would not be his best bud Tim, but his fellow leap-before-thinking, bit of a bad boy, fellow leather jacket wearing Jason Todd. They both like coming back from the dead and having inexplicable genre jumps throughout their histories and their main angst comes from a conflict of ideals and perspectives with their parental figures. Kon also is constantly concerned with going over the edge and turning to a villain because of his “bad genes” which reminds me a lot of how Jason felt judged for growing up and being born into a situation outside of his control. 
Linda Danvers: It’s a bit of a cheat since they’re my favorite heroes I grew up with at the time, but when I think of Linda I always think of Cassandra Cain. Linda was not born into an abusive home life, but she was part of an abusive relationship and made mistakes that eventually led to a death. Unlike Cass, however, Linda’s death was her own. That was the turning point in her origins and from that point on she was led to being Supergirl out of not just a weird combining with Mae but through discovering a deeper level of morality and humanity than she had once seen inside of herself. And that became such a strong light in her life, she was even able to inspire the redemption of the very demon that had been responsible for her murder. 
Traci Thirteen: It might be a bit early to call this, but I think Duke Thomas is the most positioned in the Batfam with Traci. Traci initially was a pretty independent character who mostly worked under the “advisement” of Clark and came into her own with her own identity and style. They both have good families they lose to tragic circumstances and slowly find their place within the gaggle of other children in their families. 
Maggie Sawyer: Like I’m not saying it’s a purely lesbian thing, but it’s kind of the lesbian friend detective in the force who goes above and beyond and may or may not be a hero in their own right thing that I compare Maggie Sawyer and Renee Montoya. It’s a thing. And it’s a thing that unites them because they both have banged Kate Kane. Which is the real dream.
Cir-El: My poor sweet daughter is of course far too similar and too unused much like my other dear sweet daughter, Helena Wayne. They are both daughters of the matriarch and patriarch of the family from alternate futures that may or may not ever happen. They hold their father’s values and their mother’s attitudes and they both have awful terrible first costumes. 
Chris Kent: Even though their personalities are starkly different, there is definitely a common thread between Chris and Damian Wayne. They come from troubling childhoods and have difficulties with the concept of unconditional love. Their only aspirations are to live up to expectations and take the mantles of their respective fathers. And for as much trouble as it may cause them they stand up against the villains they fear most in the final hour even under threat of pain or death. They both have a “I choose my real family” moment with a parent that mistreats them, too. 
Jon Kent: This may seem like an odd comparison for now, but I get a Tim Drake vibe from Jon. Hear me out, there’s a lot of superhero worship and naivety about what his new superhero identity is going to bring with it. And while he’s much younger and less detectively minded than Tim, Jon draws on his knowledge of his father’s legacy as well as what he observes from his friends and other superheroes around him to creatively get himself out of jams. Not to mention he loves giving those moralizing speeches. 
Perry White: He’s Jim Gordon. Next.
Krypto the Superdog: THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. Ace doesn’t go out much into the field anymore so the most apt comparison here is actually Goliath the Bat Dragon. Aaaaand that’s what I’ve got. 
I hope this all made sense I had fun writing it out lol

Have you read The Metropolitan Man? I don't know what's your policy on fanfiction but it's a "realistic" take on Superman arriving in the 30s.
Haven’t read that one - looking over it briefly it seems pretty damn depressing, though I suppose that’s kind of the point. I’ll probably check it out sometime.
I’m definitely down for fanfiction, but there’s precious little with Superman I’m into - when I occasionally think of Superman fanfic I hope “cool, maybe there’s finally some cool cosmic adventure stuff in here given the comics so rarely go there, or some really insightful character observations of the kind writers too sparsely touch on!” and then it ends up being 7000 pages on a powerless high-school aged Clark’s torrid affair with Jason Todd behind Congorilla’s back or something. But keeping my eyes open, there’ve definitely been some over the years that worked for me:
Tumblr media
* Superboy: A great little moment of growth for a young Clark Kent in a short animated comic by @jordangibson.
* All In A Day’s Work: Good chance you saw this floating around on Tumblr awhile back, this is another really great little short comic by Tom Gimlin and Marcellis Wentz, on the weight of the job.
* Superman’s Story: Opposite Number: An excellent short piece by @spectralspices based on an idea he was nice enough to bounce off me, as Superman goes up against a pair of challenges unusual even for him - one comedic, one very much not.
* Pop-Drama: Superman: I don’t know how much this really qualifies as fanfic in the traditional sense - it’s a broad story proposal by @andrewhickeywriter on an ‘end point’ for Superman - but it’s damn fun and satisfying. There’s also a follow-up article where he elaborates on a major plot point.
Tumblr media
* Superman Lives: Another short comic, this time by Joe Otis Costello and Des Taylor, where the Superman of 1938 is beamed in a fight with Brainiac into the world of 2014, and Lois Lane naturally gets the exclusive interview with the returned hero, the story being presented in magazine format. The characterizations may or may not work for you - parts do for me, others not - but it’s an interesting exercise nonetheless, and Des Taylor’s work is absolutely gorgeous.
* @ck1blogs: Clark Kent’s reasonably infamous Twitter account. He is not good at the internet, or humans.
* @filmcriticsuperman: Less well-known than its cousin ck1, which is a shame; unlike most “Film Critic X” feeds, it’s actually…well, really good, courtesy of @charlotteofoz. It maintains the voice throughout and perfectly, and while half the feed is indeed movie reviews - always through the filter of Superman - the other half is just Superman talking about his day, and while it was coming out it was probably the best ongoing Superman material of the last several years. If starting at the beginning of the feed to get a feel for it seems too ominous, worth it though it may be, a good sample would be the more traditional short story she did connected to it, a Superman Halloween spooktacular by the name of Yellowfire.
* Kosmograd Blues: A short story by The Quantum Thief and Invisible Planets author Hannu Rajaniemi focused on a Russian Superman analog, it’s a beautifully written, somber story of a superman who’s long since lost what made his own life worthwhile, but knows he still has a job to do. This was to be one part of a series of superhero short stories set in a larger world he had built - he wrote a little more about the details of it once - but to my knowledge this was all that ever came out of it.
Tumblr media
* Kahlil: An ongoing webcomic by Kumail Rizvi in which the last son of Krypton landed in Karachi; it’s been awhile since I last checked in on it, but I recall it being very good, with some spectacular artwork making the few moments thus far of super-ness really pop.
* Superman vs. The Universe: A spiritual cousin to Joe Keatinge’s Strange Visitor, this is the story of an all-powerful Superman at the end of time looking back on his existence as he prepares for his last duty; the prose is stilted in places, but there are enough great ideas and emotional moments in here to make it more than worth your time.
* Repairing The World: I’ll admit some bias up front since the author’s a friend of mine, but starlightify’s DCU series of fanfics - largely centered around Superman and Batman - are a lot of fun, very funny and heartfelt. Some good samplers with Superman would be Salutation and Canidae.
Tumblr media
* Silver Age Superman: I’ve never gotten my hands on this semi-legendary bootleg 1990 comic by Ed Pinsent and Mark Robinson, but the likes of Al Ewing and phenomenal comics critic Colin Smith have both declared this comic - starring by my understanding perhaps the most alienated version of its title character ever - among their absolute favorite Superman stories, and their word is more than good enough for me; if you see it out in the wild, I’d absolutely say pick it up. And grab a copy for me, would ya?
* Luthor’s Gift/Starwinds Howl: Bizarre as it is to list any Superman work of Elliot S! Maggin’s as fanfiction when he’s one of the characters’ most beloved writers, I suppose that is what these two stories count as given that they’ve only ever been published online and maybe in a fanzine or two to my knowledge rather than with DC’s official sanction, and they’re absolutely of a piece with his novels Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday. The latter is his take on how Krypto arrived on Earth; the former shows how Superman finally left Earth around the end of the 21st century the way he often hinted at in his other works.
* Tales of Smallville: Near as I can tell, I’m the only person on the face of the Earth - other than maybe Elliot Maggin, who endorsed these stories himself - who’s aware that on the site supermanthrutheages, Samuel Hawkins posted a series of 4 Superboy stories; him revealing himself to the world, his first big adventure with the Legion of Superheroes, a memorable dinner with a guest, and Martha Kent on her deathbed. On these stories, I know two things. 1. Posterity will unquestionably not validate him. It’s a handful of Silver/Bronze-Age Superboy fanfics on an out-of-the-way fansite, no one will remember them. And 2. He is a Morrison/Ennis/Maggin-tier Superman writer. If I have ever written anything in my life on Superman that you’ve agreed on, for the love of god at least read Martha’s Story, it might honestly be my favorite Superman story other than All-Star.
So along with those recommendations, I do have to throw a request on top: I vaguely recall having once read a short story somewhere online years ago about a Superman-type hero found in a field as an infant by farmers - one’s an alcoholic and one sleeps around, but they clean up their acts for the sake of the kid. He grows up to become a superhero and occasionally fights a Lex Luthorish scientist with an appropriately alliterative name who accuses him of impeding societal progress. Eventually, the hero flies off into space once everyone he knows dies, returning occasionally to Earth as he feels drawn back, to defend it, or rule it, or just wander it in obscurity; his longest and last stay is when he falls in love with a woman who he meets at a restaurant, when she’s the first in all those thousands of years to make apple pie as good as his mother’s. Eventually, he lives to the end of the universe, where he finds himself rocketing back through time and de-aging, crash-landing in a field and completing the time-loop. If anyone could point me in a direction towards it, it’d be very much appreciated; I don’t even recall if it’s any good, but I’ve been trying to find it for years and it’s the principle of the thing at this point.

Ten Secrets You Will Not Want To Know About Decoration Concepts | decoration concepts
Hanging a band on a aperture or a bank is about as capital to decorating for yuletide as ambience up a Christmas timberline — and, as it turns out, the two traditions appear from the aforementioned place.
The Best Living Room Decor Ideas that You can Fix by … – decoration concepts | decoration concepts
“The timberline gave bearing to the wreath,” says Ace Collins, columnist of Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas.
The custom of bringing evergreens home during the winter began in the 16th aeon amid arctic and eastern Europeans — with Germans frequently accustomed with starting the Christmas timberline tradition. During this period, pruning the timberline was a allotment of the alertness process. “Limbs were generally cut off in an attack to accomplish the timberline added compatible in appearance or to fit into a room,” Collins writes in his book. Instead of throwing the pieces of greenery away, the Europeans wove the balance into wreaths.
“These bodies were active in a time aback aggregate in their lives was acclimated until it was gone,” Collins tells TIME.

Besides the artful and applied affidavit for abstraction the tree, there was additionally a airy acceptation to convenance for Christians. “It was important to trim the copse into the appearance of a triangle, to represent the Trinity,” Collins says. Catholic fable says that Saint Boniface, a abbot from England, acclimated the three credibility of an beloved timberline to explain the abstraction of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost aback in the seventh century.
Before the band became associated with Christmas, it was a arresting adumbration of achievement and ability in age-old Greece and Rome. In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, afterwards the damsel Daphne alone the god Apollo and able from him by axis into a account tree, Apollo says, “Since you cannot be my wife, you shall absolutely be my tree. O laurel, I shall for anytime accept you in my hair, on my lyre and quiver.” The access aggressive art such as the marble bronze “Apollo Crowning Himself,” reinforcing the adumbration of Roman and Grecian gods donning the blooming crown.
The band had a agnate apologue amid non-deities. Mireille M. Lee, in Body, Dress, and Identity in Age-old Greece, writes, “Athletes who were arrive at the Panhellenic amateur were crowned with wreaths of olives (Olympia), account (Delphi), agrarian celery (Nemea), and ache (Isthmia).” Outside of competitions, a acme of leaves or flowers additionally represented account and joy. The band was declared as “the accessory of the priest in the achievement of sacrifice, of the hero on his acknowledgment from victory, of the helpmate at her nuptials, and of the guests at a feast.”

But Christmas wreaths brought a new band of acceptation to the old idea. Such wreaths originally served as Christmas timberline ornaments, and not as the standalone decorations we’re accustomed with today. They were formed into a wheel-like appearance partially for convenience’s account — it was simple to adhere a amphitheater assimilate the branches of a timberline — but the appearance was additionally cogent as a representation of all-powerful perfection. It adumbrated eternity, as the appearance has no end.
Equally important was the actual basic the wreaths — the beloved tree. Beloved copse were a breed looked aloft with awe and admiration, back they, clashing best active things, survived the acerbity of winter. The copse appeared in affluence in arctic and eastern Europe, and bodies brought them into their homes. “That was a attribute to them of power, of resilience, and in a way, of hope,” Collins says.
Together, the annular appearance and the beloved actual accomplish the band a representation of abiding life. It is additionally a representation of faith, as Christians in Europe generally placed a candle on the band during Advent to betoken the ablaze that Jesus brought into the world. A German Lutheran pastor called Johann Hinrich Wichern is generally accustomed acclaim for axis the band into a attribute of the Advent, and lighting candles of assorted sizes and colors in a amphitheater as Christmas approached.

In that tradition, there are four candles in total— one for anniversary anniversary of Advent. In his book, Collins says that three of the candles, usually purple, represented the Christian ethics of hope, accord and love. “The final candle, best generally red in color, adumbrated the joy of new activity acquired through the allowance of Christ’s cede on the cross,” he writes. At times, a white candle was lit on Christmas eve and accustomed Jesus’ birth.
The attitude of the Advent wreath, forth with abounding added Christmas traditions from arctic and eastern Europe, was adopted by the masses alpha in the 19th century. Collins says that the alliance of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom, to Prince Albert from Germany opened the aperture for Christmas traditions of added regions in Europe to become accepted in England. In turn, British ability afflicted American culture. Literature such as Clement Clarke Moore’s A Visit From St. Nicholas additionally fueled the advance of Christmas traditions such as decorating with wreaths.
Despite its boundless acceptance today, the band started with apprehensive beginnings. “We alive in a throwaway culture,” says Collins. “The band was built-in out of not throwing things away.”
