My friend Dan Pasternack wrote an incredibly sensitive, creative, and thoughtful essay about / around the ideas presented in "Functioning". I was incredibly flattered, but also stunned by Dan's ability to penetrate the subject matter (something that most people completely ignore when it comes to homemade / Punk music), and also his personal, incisive writing. The essay appears in his Zine, Deposit Vol. II, but can easily be read here:
