follows: We had Valentine's Day, and I spent it with Lucy, the girl
I love. She's a terrier. As I often say, I'm single and drama-free
after two co-dependent relationships. Those are not good for the
creative arts. I also got divorced years ago due to my pursuit of a
career in music. I read a short passage from Charles Bukowski's
novel, 'Women', that made me have a flashback. I talk about the
methodology I used for approving the proofs of my new book, 'Blue
Whiskey'. I'm dreading the Kindle formatting, but I may just buy a
template this time. That's the one part of the process I don't
enjoy, because since I only do it about once a year I always forget
how. I haven't told you much about 'Blue Whiskey', so I read the
back cover copy, which was hard for me to write. I tell the
methodology I finally stumbled upon that made that easier, too.
It's pretty crazy that the Coen Brothers came out with a movie with
a similar story, 'Inside Llewyn Davis'. I haven't seen it, but I
watched the trailer and it didn't look similar other than the
setting. It's amazing how fast guys like them and Wes Anderson
create screenplays and then movies. Next, I tell about my
experiences with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden after I moved from
Oklahoma to Seattle. He got some death threats on Twitter. In the
old days, they used to cut out letters and assemble anonymous
notes, but now they just tweet them. Chris Cornell blew out his
voice on the last Audioslave album from smoking and drinking too
much, but he gave up. The first song on his 'Songbook' album is
about giving up the booze. I worked at a paint factory in a part of
Seattle called Ballard, and Cornell rented a big room there to use
as a rehearsal space. I worked by myself on the floor underneath
that and listened to him writing his first solo album, 'Euphoria
Morning'.
