Are people interested in reading these masochists?

likely.  Although some authors have a lot more credibility than others.
I think it's good to have documents, so when the archeologists are trying to figure out what went wrong, there will be a roadmap

I just finished the Mark Lanegan book, Sing Backwards and Weep. Highly recommend. A tough read, especially if you love someone who has/had a heroin addiction, and a necessary one.

A pretty good list, a bunch I didn't even know existed

really got to read that Viv one, the universe has been telling me for years

That Viv one looks awesome. I have the Kim Gordon book next in my queue.

Four down, 46 to go for me,

did you trade in your pleated slacks for a searsucker?

Yes sir!


I love these…



It’s a gorgeous day here in Fenwick Island…

this guy…
doesn't even read

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
“The Trump Century, How Our President Changed the Course of History Forever”. On sale tomorrow. A great book by an even greater author. Make Lou NUMBER ONE! Much better than the boring, no new info., Woodward book. Besides, Lou is much smarter and sharper than Bob, by a lot!

No new info…so is he implying that it's true
and I always pick my books by he shaper of the two authors

Finished Kim Gordon's book in 2 days. Great read.

Currently reading Ship of Theseus which is good, but is like reading 3 books at once.

reading the harry potter books for the first time.  I don't care that the author hates trans people.  And I eat at chickfila too.

OMG do you eat Goya beans too??

Just finished Ian Hunter’s Diary of a Rock’n’roll Star


Had been wanting to read this for about 10 years


Great stuff… very honest account of a five week US tour in 1972

Not your typical rock autobiographical book

Reading Ian McEwan - The Innocent


I love Ian..catching up on this one


That generation of late 70s British writers like Ian, Barnes, Rushdie..

Wow..

Lordy this is delicious




I want a Guinness and a zombie

Interesting…here is the origin of the book title
The first signs of what would eventually become Finnegans Wake came in August 1923 when Joyce wrote the sketch "Here Comes Everybody"

this looks interesting and has some decent reviews

Read the entry for March 930 shows

http://www.pogues.com/Print/blogmahone.html#march07_06

I spent hours outside 930 for nothing! They were staying at Helix a block from where I lived for 2-3 nights! All I had to do was hang out at the bar there…aghhh I feel so stupid …14 years I have thought how I failed


I never did get their autographs


I did get the set lists for both 930 shows - don’t ask me how- I don’t remember …identical set lists somewhere around here

All I got for waiting hours at 930 was a peek at Philip Chevron who showed up early..a few years later he was dead..he didn’t look well.. fuck cancer

These were my first shows seeing the Pogues…I was giddy..I had seen Shane at black cat circa 1995..not same…that show was way oversold.. hottest black cat show I can remember..uncomfortable…I had an extra ticket to the 2006 Pogues 930 show..couldn’t give it away..I will always hold it against my friend that he pussied out cause he didn’t want to make plans without his girlfriend..what a pussy.. I lost some respect for Rich that day..I mean it’s the Pogues..their first Us shows in 15 years

Sturgill Simpson Presents Sound & Fury The Graphic Novel

Finished the Ahmet bio, Hiaasen book and almost done with the Pogues
