@pourfairelevide Yes, we were talking about this @E_Film_Blog when WIL came on the radio earlier this week. (Not to split hairs but we landed on '71.)

actually crazy that Warren Zevon dropped Excitable Boy in ‘78 and not ‘68

@chibibinch @isabelunraveled I tried

i’m strongly against people writing devastatingly depressing books that then get loads of critical acclaim and endorsement for their “great writing” if you can produce “great writing” maybe don’t install harmful mind viruses into everyone who picks up your book just a thought

“There was a bush that emitted a strong smell almost exactly like that of semen. Some men and women noticed it as they passed by. It was rather shocking, in a vicar’s garden.” We’ve unlocked “The Fête” by Tom Crewe in our Summer issue. buff.ly/QIJSuTo

"Peter had told me they couldn’t get you off the mountain—something about money, and you being too heavy. I didn’t get it. I remembered how he used to pick you up like you were a sack of potatoes." — Snow White, Kathy Stevens
