I think of Whitman, Dickinson and Twain. I think of Fitzgerald. I think of Cummings and Frost.<br /><br />No one can replicate any of that.<br /><br />Do you know why Margaret Mitchell never wrote a sequel to Gone With the Wind? It was only the best selling romance novel of all time.<br /><br />She spent ten years defending her copywright. The novel sold out its first printing in three months, and that was in the middle of the Great Depression. By the time the movie came out in 1939, the novel had been translated into fourteen foreign languages and was selling out all over the world.<br /><br />This from a 26-year old girl, who broke her ankle and was confined to bed. Her husband, actually her second husband, went to the library and brought her books to read, mostly histories and accidental novels. Then, when he had checked all of the books at the library, he gave her a stack of paper and a pen. He said, "Write a book." And she wrote the greatest romance ever, other than the Odyssey.<br /><br />She was killed by a run-away horse-drawn carriage after walking out of a theater in Atlanta.<br /><br />So there it goes. You can't replicate the classics. You can emulate them, as many have done or tried to do, but you cannot replicate them.<br /><br />Every artist responds to the genius before him. Harold Bloom wrote a book about this; he calls it the anxiety of influence. And I believe him.<br /><br />Virgil was influenced by Homer. Dante was influenced by Virgil. Chaucer was influenced by both, and Shakespeare was influenced by Chaucer. And don't even get me started on the Gawain-poet, who as yet remains unidentified. As does Chaucer and Shakespeare, by the way.<br /><br />Anyway, I respect originalty. That's all I respect. I don't respect do-overs, or covers, unless they're expertly done. And there are very few of those.<br /><br />Did you know that when Elvis performed his Aloha from Hawaii concert, the first world satellite broadcast, over 70% of the television sets in the world turned onto it? That's several billion people. Nobody will ever be that big again.<br /><br />But Elvis was a performer. He didn't write his own songs. He did do an excellent cover of Sweet Caroline, written by Neil Diamond.<br /><br />Alice Cooper holds the record for largest concert attedance, believe it or not. Kiss holds the second. And Queen holds the third. All of those concerts were in South America, in case you didn't know.<br /><br />As far as quitting smoking goes, quitting is for quitters. I stand by my original statement; if I attract some germ or disease that I can't cure with cigarettes and alcohol, I might as well be dead.GawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-62946494056114556452013-02-15T10:36:26.864-05:002013-02-15T10:36:26.864-05:00Love and Rockets had a song in the 80's called...Love and Rockets had a song in the 80's called 'So Alive', I never really cared for it but one day I stumbled upon a remake of it.<br />The artist that did the cover was Duncan Sheik.<br /><br />Now I'll have to admit that I never cared for Duncan Sheik either, but there is just something about his remake that I really like.<br /><br />Here is a cut and paste if anyone is interested in hearing it:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/b89dqyn<br /><br /><br /> Watchtowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833772067989549769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-77035811719276239522013-02-15T09:42:49.240-05:002013-02-15T09:42:49.240-05:00I tend to like a version of a song depending on wh...I tend to like a version of a song depending on which one I've been introduced to first. Usually this occurs via the media or pop culture--which usually entails a cover version by some newer, hipper band/artist. So, for instance, I still prefer Elvis's "Blue Suede Shoes" over Carl Perkins' version. Or Guns 'N' Roses' "Sypmathy For the Devil" over The Rolling Stones' original. But Jimi's "Watchtower" is just so definitive to me that I can never get into Dylan's original, despite my being introduced to the latter first.David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-77271116648515395562013-02-15T08:58:01.294-05:002013-02-15T08:58:01.294-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-67280519260260269552013-02-15T08:55:58.270-05:002013-02-15T08:55:58.270-05:00Hey, congrats on quitting smoking!
