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."

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.

No, erika, that was more directed at Ginger. NBD. I could google, I suppose.

smonster, I've never heard of anyone specific and Cohen only says cryptic things about it.
