FPR's Care Package

FPR just sent himself a care package as part of the Care Package Project.

I would send myself, 15 years old in 1983, the following:

Book: The Moon and Sixpence, because it will inspire me to start painting at a much younger age.

Album (on vinyl or cassette tape): The Velvet Underground and Nico, because it is simply the greatest rock and roll album ever made.

Movie: Dr. Strangelove, because it will turn me on to the work of Stanley Kubrick and perhaps inspire me to go into filmmaking.

I would find a VHS copy of Strangelove, if one exists, obviously, because DVD players, like CD players, will not exist.

The note I will send to myself:

"Fuck politics, pick up the paintbrush. You will be happier in the long run."
