Quote of the Week: God’s Tone

[ January 5, 2008 / Department: field notes / Leave a comment ]

From an obituary of Joybubbles, born Josef Engressia (May 25, 1949 — August 8, 2007), the “original granddaddy phone phreak”:

Someday there will be no need of the dial tone, and for a few of us it will be as if the voice of God has gone dead.
Written by Elizabeth McCracken: “Dial-Phone Phreak” (nytimes.com).
