...shooting out of these still forming stars. Only by slinging some of the incoming matter away as a counterbalance could the protostars avoid going into a superfast spin. When a new star finally becomes massive enough to ignite the nuclear-fusion reaction that makes it shine, the resulting outward blast of energy would stop any more matter from falling in, the jets would turn off, and the remaining dusty disk would start clumping together to form planets...
...haired, laid-back bottleneck ace whose virtuosity evokes comparisons with Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. A long-time sideman for such musicians as John Hiatt and John Mayall, the Mississippi-born, Lafayette-bred Landreth also played with Chenier in his prime.

Creative writing classes, he claims, take away valuable classroom time reading the writing of great minds such as Milton and Joyce. I agree that turning outward towards the world, learning the ideas bestowed unto us by the Great Minds, is of utmost important. But turning outward does not mean the repression of turning inward to oneself...
