At some point I learned who Howard Marks was.
At another point I learned what Sparks was. Who.
At yet another point I read Mr. Nice.
(Everyone should. Fascinating read.)
Finally. For Christmas. 2007. I received my first Sparks album. Ten. Eleven years. In the making.
I like to think this meeting actually took place. I bet it did. If it didn't. I don't want to know.
Sparks - Kimono My House. Charles, Jeanne, Christmas, 2007.
That's funny. I always wondered who that guy was on the cover of Fuzzy Logic. Always reminded me of the Man of a Thousand Faces. Now I know.
ReplyDeleteIs the audiobook of Mr. Nice just as good? It's abriged. :(
I never listened to the audiobook.
ReplyDeleteBut I can loan you the book itself next time you head east. It currently resides at Chez Dyer.
Doood. What you got me listening to here? It's like ABBA meets Rush meets Japan.
ReplyDeleteYou can Yoko to that list. Her more Pop-friendly tunes that is. Think Walking on Thin Ice.
ReplyDeleteYou say that like it's a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteDid I just hear a Snow Patrol riff. Well, I mean, did I just hear Snow Patrol rip off of Sparks. Wicked.
ReplyDeleteActually, I enjoyed it. Would've been a better experience on vinyl though. Digital doesn't do it justice.
