--WE ARE WHO WE ARE
…For
years, blogspot wouldn’t let me fix the broken links (online magazine sites
that had gone defunct) but then the other day the spell was lifted and so I spent
quite a few hours deleting things and adding new pieces. There should be around seven hundred stories
here under Words In Print and I think if you click on anyone of them it’ll take
you right to the story.
…Thanks
for reading my blog. I don’t know who
you are, but I’m grateful. We’re nearing
a quarter million views, which is kind of cool.
…I’ve
had a surge of things published lately, but that’ll be it for a while.
Here
are some:
…I hope you have a great weekend. It’s sunny here and I hope it is sunny
wherever you are as well.
“I do
albums and, like a fool, I listen to what people say about them. The terrible thing is it puts you off our own
stuff.” Paul McCartney
“And
that’s when we began writing our own songs…We knew we had something; you could
feel it, the hairs stood up on our arms, it just felt so different. We didn’t know what it was, but we liked
it. I just came up with this riff for ‘Black
Sabbath.’ I played ‘dom-dom-dommm.’ And it was like: that’s it! We built the song from there. As soon as I played that first riff we went:
‘Oh God, that’s really great. But what
is it? I don’t know.’” Rony Iommi
“I can’t
dance like Usher. I can’t sing like
Beyonce. I can’t write songs like Elton
John. But we can do the best with what
we’ve got. And so that’s what we
do. We just go for it.” Chris Martin,
Coldplay
“I like
nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells.”
Dr. Seuss
