"I am the man in the book you're reading
Waving to you from the page
I am the man in the book you're reading
Staring into your eyes
....
Books crawl down from the shelves
Read themselves to you
Read themselves at you
In the library of force"

Another bookish song, though a bit unsettling ?

Cathythoughts 😳 I like it though. 7d
Bookwomble @Cathythoughts It's good, isn't it? 😊 I love John Cale 🖤 7d

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen M:FANS is pretty dark. I love his perversity, though, in leaving the Velvet Underground as he said Lou was taking it too mainstream, and then his first solo album, Vintage Violence, is such a perfect pop album. Maybe slip that one on? 😊 6d
Suet624 Oh, I had no idea he had an autobiography! 6d
Bookwomble @Suet624 It's been on my to-buy list for years - I should get around to buying a copy! 6d

Really well researched and interesting to read. There was too much scene-setting of historical markers that weren‘t relevant to Margaret‘s life. I was drawn to the book because I loved the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown with Debbie Reynolds, and I bought the book at the Titanic Museum in Missouri. She was never even called Molly, so that‘s just a small taste of how many things about her life and personality were incorrect.

When a little bookstore stamp sends you down the rabbit hole ! https://laist.com/news/la-history/stanley-rose-bookstore-literary-las-hottest-sp...

LoverOfLearning Oh yes! Love this! I'd be doing all the research too! 2w
Ruthiella Thanks for the link. What a great, and kind of classic but melancholic LA trajectory. The Big Sleep is the only Chandler I‘ve read so far but I vividly remember the bookstore scene. 2w
Leftcoastzen @Ruthiella Right?!😁struck a real cord with me , I used to live in Long Beach , Musso & Frank is one of my favorite places, wish I could go right now! 2w

Wow..... This book was heavily detailed, rich and colorful like the paintings Kahlo was known for.

Hours worth of journal entries from herself as well Diego, letters written by her and to her, articles, and interviews highlight Kahlo and show her as this majestic, larger than life, exotic and fiery individual who captivated so many.

So much music news lately: the Grammys, Fire Aid concert, Super Bowl halftime. But I'm going old-school. On Alan Alda's podcast, Clear and Vivid, he recently interviewed neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin, and they spoke about using music to treat Parkinson's disease, which Alan suffers from. Scientist have been using songs with strong beats, like I've Got Rhythm, to help patients relearn how to walk!
