I don't hate the young, but I do get annoyed. But that's with people, I always say if a book or movie or song is good then does time ruin it. If a song or band is classified as classic rock wasn't it always great. I love going to shows, but I no longer linger in the front. At ACL I was one of many who set up camp in the middle of all shows and didn't move. Well, I thought I would leave early until M&M came on and somehow I couldn't walk away and left only after his second encore because he did totally rock the house, but I never went passed the crowd. I don't mind knowing that is for the young, I paid my dues, I like middle age. But, I don't ever believe that music goes out of style. I love Cyndi Lauper and always will, Ratt and Michael Jackson and all the music trends through out history, they have lifted everyone at one time or another. I'm grateful for those moments that I'm completely caught up in it, those moments don't make me feel young they make me feel rad, which to me is timeless.

Know you are busy, but looking forward to more of you intense, entertaining, complex, whimsical, and "call it as you see it" stories.<br /><br />I have started a "Blogger" of my very own... Not much on it yet. Many stories in this head of mine. Gonna try to start one in a bit... more of a life story but will be written as if it is about someone else (but really about me)... Anyway... Hope to see more of your work, and just maybe, you will see some of mine someday. I would value your impressions and opinions as much as you value our opinions of your stories.

Queen of never-ending sentences, am working on this to make texts easier to read, which is a nice exercise and also allows you to play with punctuation. Now of course, nobody would bother Flaubert or any other writer like him with this type of consideration (long sentences, etc.) BUT... these long paragraphs all have a reason to be, often the same: description. Describe the atmosphere, the set (if you allow me to use this word), the interactions... <br />This helps the reader getting into what's exposed - so to say it. <br /><br />All I can tell you, from a non-native speaker point of view, is that each of your post is taking us to a journey, should you mean to share a tour of Pittsburgh or take a dive into human emotions... <br />Your texts are rich and have the right rhythm - ok you take rock & I'll go to swing dance, deal? <br /><br />You hit your goal. <br /><br />So thanks and keep on feeding us ;-) Hey, you got us hooked up now! (smiling? good) <br /><br />BTW- quick note on theater... Something tells me you'd be an amazing Benedick in "Much ado about nothing" :-D<br />Too far away to offer you to play it but you'd be a great one<br /><br />Sorry for the Shakespearian detour... <br /><br />Have a great day!

I struggle with your use of contractions at some points, though. Made it harder to read, didn't flow as easily to my eye. It is apparent that you want it to sound like spoken language, particularly in the middle descriptive part, but your power of description and vocabulary are both strong enough to evoke the reader reaction. <br /> Not that you asked. Sorry. I'm not a good writer, but I am a good reader, so I thought I'd pass it along.<br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> mfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318031828203212390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-52275752224311214982014-11-11T14:43:42.137-08:002014-11-11T14:43:42.137-08:00Royal Blood - Altar Bar - December 3

"Figure It Out" is a good first listen. They are amazing live.
