3 lost souls join a govt.-sponsored suicide program, hoping to die w/grace and meaning. But when they find that The Meaningful Conclusion Program is covering up an impending Armageddon, they must decide whether to lay down and die--or stand up+fight tinyurl.com/2ptpkezm

@betancourtlit @SweetNovember48 “No thanks,” said Prudence, with considerable agency for someone being held at gunpoint. “ I’ll stick with my friends.”

Writers, drop the first sentence of your manuscript below. If it hooks me, I might ask to read more. Want feedback? I’ll leave a quick note on how to sharpen it. Prefer me to read it only? Just say “no notes” and I’ll only leave my reaction. #amwriting #amquerying #literaryagent

@progrocksongs Emerson Lake and Palmer! I consider Keith Emerson to be the most talented instrumentalist of the rock era

What was the first progressive rock band you loved?

@awline1503 @allrockmusic My favorite list amongst these replies so far!

@allrockmusic waterloo sunset do you remember walter autumn almanac days Johnny thunders come dancing dead end street village green preservation society harry rag apeman

What’s your favourite song by The Kinks?

@allrockmusic Favorite one song?!?! By the hands-down most under-appreciated band of all time?!?! I guess I would have to say Waterloo Sunset

Humans: ‘ I wish I had wings’ Birds: ‘ I wish I had hands’ Dogs: ‘ I wish I could eat that bird while those hands were petting me’

@DanaSingletonh And thank you so much for the insightful question!

@KenyonGagne2 Turning the loss of purpose into something institutional like that is incredibly disconcerting because it turns the concept of "meaning" on its head. Did the trio's friendship develop more out of mutual misery or did they begin to rediscover purpose via one another?

@DanaSingletonh It was ironic from the get-go, but when the 2nd richest man on earth maneuvers his way into the role of program benefactor, the ‘flip’ as you call it is complete. My 3 heroes are an awkward match, but they prove to be uniquely suited to spark the healing process in each other.

@FitzyMoPena 1) New Hampshire, obviously 2) Maine 3) Massachusetts 4) Vermont 5) RhodeIsland 6) Connecticut

Great question! 1. Massachusetts 2. Vermont 3. Rhode Island 4. Maine 5. New Hampshire 6. Connecticut

@VintageRockN_85 Anything by the great Donovan, most flowery of all hippies

There’s nothing quite like holding that first hard copy of your latest novel. #writing #writingcommunity #newrelease

@Redhous13106162 @20th_Centurygal Possibly the only album I know where every song on the album is the best song in the album

@20th_Centurygal Electric warrior

Recommend one album everyone should listen to at least once...any genre.

@TPerno68326 @20th_Centurygal That is some crazy shit! The vocal range, the histrionics; I love it!

@20th_Centurygal The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Whatever else happens today, I can at least know that what I thought was a dead woodchuck by the roadside was actually a soft-brown couch cushion…

@20th_Centurygal Queen

One of these legendary albums must disappear forever, which one will you sacrifice? Remember, this is just a fun little challenge.

@TheExtremeMusi1 I actually love John Lennon

Do you actually like John Lennon???

@madison_cowsert Nice! Congratulations!

Another one!!!! I know it isn’t full request Friday but I’ll take it for a maybe pile Monday!! ♥️🎉 #query

Didn’t need this today 💔

@allrockmusic The Velvet Underground and Nico, followed by The Ramones

Pick ONE

It pesters me a little bit how everything in New Hampshire is ascribed to glaciers. "These lakes were carved out by glaciers." "These rocks were deposited here by glaciers." "The first textile mills on the banks of the Merrimack were built and managed by glaciers."

@20th_Centurygal Dear Prudence and Yer Blues, which shreds so hard

The Beatles White Album was released on this day in 1968, and what a wild, creative ride it was. Rock, folk, and experimental moments, it’s a band pushing every boundary. What's your favorite song from this iconic album? 🎶
