Yes, we decided there would be a small but dedicated segment of Mme. Defarge fans who sneered at the Carton shippers.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I am reading a biography/non fiction book about Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simone, and I keep wishing there was RPF about them, James Taylor, Warren beatty, Leonard COhen, etc.
The RPF is called "You're So Vain" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Our House" and "My Old Man" and all the other songs they wrote about each other.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Who is "Famous Blue Raincoat" about?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
They didn't get into the men's songs much in this book, but if you want to know who EVERY SINGLE Joni Mitchell song was about, this is your source. Also, somehow my mind is blown by James Taylor being a heroin addict-- he just seemed so "adult contemporary" in the 80's.

Yeah...he made it through. Actually, he writes about it quite a lot, but it's more coded than Anthony Kiedis or Nine Inch Nails...if you don't know, it's not going to grab you but when I saw him in concert, he called one of the new ones "an obligatory recovery song,"

Well, I got that from "Sincerely, L. Cohen." I guess I was more wondering whether the others referenced were actual people.

I don't know that story, smonster. Probably. Sorry for the tangent.
