Is there any such thing as "Burt Bacharach Appreciation Society"? If I find one, I will be close to joining. BB is a bright guiding star for every runner (with iPod). I don't walk, I run on by.
But a huge surprise for me has been how really very very good, how BRILLIANT an artist Johnny Cash was! Have never really thought so, until now.
Remember Tennessee Stud? Was on Jackie Brown, the Best Film of Tarantino's, I think.
A sample of Tennessee Stud, by Jimmy Driftwood. (Sing along, with the link above.)
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns, he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud
Well, I got as lonesome as a man can be
Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a-dreamin' of a sweetheart too
We loped on back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother and I whipped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was ridin' on a Tennessee mare...
As for Jackie B., refresh your memories and take a look at "AK-47".
Jackie Brown is based on a novel Rum Punch of Elmore Leonard's. "He loves sports and guns", thus spoke Wikipeadia. But he has quite recently wrotten a guide book, Ten Rules Of Writing. Very interesting.
You can also learn a great deal from his website; there's an FAQ section. How about this:
Q: How do I gen an agent?
A: My advice is to learn how to write and an agent will find you.
There nothing more to add.
