WEST AGAIN



Hi world

Just checking in with some newly forming writing news. I don't have any information available yet as to publication dates and so forth but here's what I can tell you: there is a book forthcoming of writing about the Western movie in all of its rich diversity. I am booked to contribute some words to this new volume.

When I have more to tell I will.

MJ GONE AWAY


Hi world

It was sad to hear that Michael Jackson died yesterday. His music and image was such a familiar part of my childhood growing up in the 1980s. A short film he starred in and which I enjoyed when I saw it at Disneyland Paris was CAPTAIN EO. It's a nifty little film that celebrates the need for creativity in the world. Always worth remembering that.

Dream well.
