Did They Really Just Sing That? | Madly Off In All Directions

Madly Off In All Directions. A blog about whatever strikes my fancy…. Did They Really Just Sing That? Case in point for creepiness – Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”. At the heart of it, the Boss is asking his lover, whom he addresses as “little girl”, if her daddy’s left her alone, and if he can please her like the singer can. Given that these lyrics are about half the song, it ranks pretty high on the squick-scale. Speaking of stalker songs, what about “One Way or Another” by Blondie? Click to share o...

The ongoing adventures of the undisciplined writer. Or the attempts of a joyfully married, gainfully employed, often optimistic, but generally lazy girl to get published. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Back to school edition: Lessons learned. The UW has been WILDLY UNDISCIPLINED. Remarkably, breathtakingly so. Downright delinquent, my friends. And for that she is sorry. Her best excuse she can offer you is: life. One final note: this fall the UW is actually doing something. People, its a big deal! About it...

NOTHING IS IMMINENT: Neo-noir(?)* books
http://nothingisimminent.blogspot.com/2012/11/neo-noir-books.html
Occasional outbursts of unrequested opinions. Sunday, November 4, 2012. Anyway, on to the stories. Jason S. Ridler, 2012). Punk rock, pro wrestling, and mystery… Yes! This was a ridiculously fun book to read. Fast-moving, and a real page-turner. Many interesting plot twists, leading up to a truly bizarre climax that had my jaw literally dropping. (That does not happen very often.) Nicely played, Jason S. Ridler. There are two other Spar Battersea books ( CON JOB. Ed Kurtz, Abbatoir Press, 2012). Very rea...

Marathon Month - Part Two, the Marathing. Thursday night, I'd just heard a kind-hearted (and slightly hammy) audience cold reading one of my radio play scripts. The story they read was the basis of what I was about to write in Huntsville, Ontario, for the 12th Annual Muskoka Novel Marathon. But you know what? It was Tobin's firs...
