I may have soured on the new books, but I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Lee Child’s creation (and am having fun with the TV version). Gotta love this song (the first few and last seconds of the video are particularly nice):

I’m still in shock over Glen Hansard’s death last week, it’s not often that a celebrity’s/public person’s death lingers for me–I’m mean, I’m bothered when I hear of anyone dying–but it’s not like I know them or anything. But Hansard’s music–particularly that which he recorded with The Swell Season–has been huge in my life (and earlier, I learned after watching Once and finding out he’d been in The Committments. I saw The Swell Season live once–and midway through that show, I saw the greatest live performance of my life. It was a year and a half before the concert video shown below, but it’s basically the same thing (although he unplugged earlier when we saw it). The rest of the band left the stage, Hansard unplugged the guitar and stepped away from the mic. Then he talked a little and sang this. Just one voice and a guitar in the middle of a hushed theater.

Still gives me chills, and like I told a friend recently–I’m going to remember it when I’m 87. (seriously, track me down and ask me about it in a few decades)

It’s better live, but this is a decent substitute.

This seemed appropriate for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week…

There’s nothing polemical intended here. It’s just an earworm that got re-implanted in my brain over the weekend, and according to the Deep Magic, I must infect as many as I can. Sorry, them’s the rules.

I’m tempted to spend the next few weeks just working through this whole album…I pretty much wore out the tape of my copy of it a few decades ago.
