BUSTING THROUGH MYTHOLOGIES

SOMETIMES I FEEL SWALLOWED WHOLE BY MYTHOLOGIES.  NOW I'VE GOT TO BE JONAH AFTER THE WHALE.


The mythologies are most often invented by gossips.


I wish I could say that I've been "PR AWARE" enough to have invented some of it myself.


When I think of PR I think of a woman who I was friends with, off and on, mostly on, for a decade, ages 16 to 26, or so, who, with hindsight, I know wrote me letters full of her own PR.  Certainly I wasn't savvy enough to realize it at the time.


I hope I won't be in her memoir, but if I write mine, she's in.

LETTING YOUR INNER PAMELA DES BARRES SPEAK

  Reading this one as an e-book (yes, about six months ago I finally gave in!) and decided that I will participate in Pamela's writing workshop vicariously.  Her workshops are a lot like mine that I had in the early 1990's.  Keep writing (or typing) for a short period of time without letting that editor in your head out of the cage.  I suspect many women have an inner Pamela Des Barres, alter egos who are uninhibited, sexy, and have stories to tell.  Self made, I tend to think of her as a woman of courage.

BOBFEST - 1992 : CHRISTINE TRZYNA FILM REVIEW

ROLLINGSTONE - BobFest 30th Anniversary Concert Being Reissued

Loved this concert, but for Sinead O'Connor screaming lyrics, sulking, holding herself with her arms defensively around herself, glowering, smoking on stage, and otherwise calling a lot of attention to herself, rather than lovingly participating with so many greats that she was lucky to be invited to perform with. Read later that the audience booed her but don't hear it on the DVD. Loved Tracy Chapman's performance.

BOB DYLAN NOBEL LECTURE IN LITERATURE 2016

The buzz that Bob would someday achieve a Pulitzer in Literature has been around Literary Academia for many years. I notice he says it began with Buddy Holly. From a young age I collected the lyrics to songs as poetry and story telling.
