A musical…about the Vampire Lestat….
With Bernie Taupin and ELTON FUCKING JOHN doing the music????
I…I…I got nothing….
I think this officially puts the final nail in the coffin on my literary relationship with Mrs. Rice.
On the plus side the Rent movie comes out November 23rd.
Edit It’s official. netgoth and I have determined that Anne Rice has, indeed, Jumped The Shark
Sometimes I feel like it’s all too much. Like the weight of the world is pressing down on me and refusing to let up. Like I’ll never catch up or really get ahead.
Then something as simple as a song can make me feel worlds better.
Perhaps I’m alone in this, but I find it almost physically painful to keep myself from singing along with Ewan McGregor’s part in “El Tango De Roxanne” from Moulin Rouge while I’m at work. I suppose in some cases this would be acceptable, but “Roxanne” is not a song to be sung lightly. It crawls up from the depths of your gut and explodes into the air.
That’s just how it is, man. I didn’t write the part. I just sing along with it.
I’m going to have to listen to it again on the way home tonight. Hope I don’t scare anyone in the cars next to mine.
To the delightfully quirky blood4fngrpaint.
When the song Instant Club Hit was released I was a huge Dead Milkmen fan. Was pretty much all I listened to. I thought Instant Club Hit was brilliant, and hadn’t even heard of most of the bands. Souxsie. Depeche Mode. Public Image Limited. Book Of Love. The Smiths. Naked Truth.
Now I have songs by all of the above on my iPod.
And I listen to them more often than the Dead Milkmen.
I think the Dead Milkmen would also be quite upset to learn that the next song that came up in my random shuffle was by Clannad.
Don’t ye be fergittin’, land lubbers! Today be talk like a pirate day.
Yarr!
