@pinworms70 You do realise these two "bums" are from the Hugo award winning Starship Sofa podcast? Who cares how they dress, they both love and respect Genre Fiction.

The two guys interviewing Mr Moorcock look like a couple of street thughs...Like they might ask a question or two and then steal his stuff. Next time wear a button down shirt you bums.

@lambertsheepishlion Hmm, methinks you have a problem with the fella?

his work is trivial and he provides a gross misinterpretation in his essay "epic pooh." he is a hypocrite and his work will be forgotten in the next decade.

Moorcock is just standing on the shoulders of giants. He owes his popularity almost exclusively to the roads that Tolkien had paved some 40 years previously.

I've enjoyed reading Michael Moorcock's books, I have to agree with rutgerhauer666 that "Epic Pooh" was an epic failure. It was nothing more than a polemic against Professor Tolkien's Victorian sentimentalities and his Catholicism. While Moorcock derides Tolkien, he praises a lesser author (Philip Pullman), for echoing his own beliefs about religion.
Moorcock is entitled to his own opinion, but his criticisms of Tolkien are lazy and intellectually dishonest.
One of THE greatest fantasy writers ever. Period.

Not fair to comapre Gaiman to Moorcock. Moorcock's writing of Eternal Champion is so fun and so colorful - it is in a class by itself. A mythical inner truth.
