So many of his songs lend themselves to the genre...Thunder Road, The River, Dancing in the Dark, Brilliant Disguise, All That Heaven Will Allow...I could go on and on.<br /><br />I think Bon Jovi is another closet romance novelist. He writes some pretty good love songs. <br /><br />Very enjoyable post!<br />Misty<br />www.readmistyevans.com <br />www.twitter.com/readmistyevansMisty Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234289226913401133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-72026157959692265152009-10-29T17:45:44.397-07:002009-10-29T17:45:44.397-07:00I wonder if metal beats would help me write faster...I wonder if metal beats would help me write faster? <br /><br />I certainly feel the downer when my favorite coffee shop plays The Decemberists. They are not a romance novel. They're like Ulysses or something.<br /><br />But do the lyrics of any of your favorite songs conjure a plot? Or sketch a hero? <br /><br />Warren Zevon has inspired almost all my heroes, which I guess makes them anti-heroes. My current hero is inspired by Roland the Headless Thomson Gunner and the next one is probably going to be Mr. Bad Example. No one ever knows those songs anymore - but Bruce loved Zevon too.Anna Richlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758472429790528680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-5848998930310600462009-10-29T00:17:11.875-07:002009-10-29T00:17:11.875-07:00I don't have any specific artists, I just like...I don't have any specific artists, I just like listening to all kinds of music while I'm reading. I did once read a horror novel while listening to Oingo Boingo's "It's a Dead Man's Party" over and over again. lol Seemed rather fitting. <br /><br />But for the most part I listen to metal, while reading. Listening to Disturbed or Avenged Sevenfold doesn't really conjure up romantic images but the fast beats help me read faster. lolMary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-66065118747374160062009-10-28T08:25:08.407-07:002009-10-28T08:25:08.407-07:00Kate - 5:25 am?

I don't have to take the Big Boy to school until 8:55 so 6:30 seemed ambitious (and I did edit 2 more pages). Tomorrow 5:30 for me too.Anna Richlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758472429790528680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-62284516436914496312009-10-28T08:23:10.904-07:002009-10-28T08:23:10.904-07:00Eilis, I'm not sure there's room for disse...Eilis, I'm not sure there's room for dissent on this thread! Seriously, it's okay if you're not a fan. I'll still talk to you. But really the new album is much less dark and less political than his other recent work. The happy birthday love song is wonderful - as some reviewers have noted, it's like cake with a lot of frosting. Or perhaps like a romance novel. A distinctly happy ending. Be prepared the next time you're in my car ...Anna Richlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758472429790528680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-90648784097137865742009-10-28T06:17:25.854-07:002009-10-28T06:17:25.854-07:00I'm not fond of the guy, but I know plenty of ...I'm not fond of the guy, but I know plenty of people who are.

I don't know if he's a closet romance novelist or my closet romance novel HERO, but he certainly inspires me!Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.com
