A third journal of personal musings |
 My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it. |
Number One of 1985   SongMoney for Nothing by Dire Straits  Book Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keillor  Money for Nothing is great! I included the music video because it is *french kiss* It is very early computer graphics and it's amazing. The song, like I said is great. It has an amazing opening guitar riff. If there is something that I don't think I ever realized until listening to it within the last few years was that the gay slur fa**ot is in it and it can be off putting a bit. I know they aren't using it so much as the people they're talking about are, but still. It's something that made me realize I listened to and watched the clean edit. I found the official music video on youtube a few years ago and was surprised by that addition. I've attached the clean edit music video. Dire Straits also has some other amazing songs, so if you like this song, I'd suggest checking them out. Romeo and Juliet, Two Young Lovers, Sultans of Swing, Telegraph Road, and Walk of Life are some! Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keillor is neither a book I have heard of or an author that I have heard of. The book sounds like stuff I've written for some stories that helps give me background for my stories. It's about a fictional town, but it's written in the style of a non-fictional historical publication. It goes over the history of the town and then describes the lives and activities of the inhabitants of the town. The second half of the book kinda reads like multiple short stories, but there isn't really a plot. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to read it, but I think if it was like a book club and we were to talk about it or use it as a reference for myself, for my own research, I might read it. I read a little bit up on the author to see if I might know of anything else he has written and the answer to that is no. He was more into radio and had a radio show called A Prairie Home Companion which was a variety show, which had musicians and some skits before a live audience (remember those?). The book was based off of some bits from that show and his show seemed to be popular enough that for the second half of September (I was born on the 20th) and into the first week of October, he was the number one NY Times Bestseller. |
