I don't know how you did this reply to a...Cool. I don't know how you did this reply to a specific reply, but I saw how to follow your lead and I like it.<br />Secondly, thanks for guessing and not relying on Google and Wiki. Just makes it more fun.<br />Thirdly, welcome back. Was it magnifique? I bet it was.<br /><br />Game two: Not bio-pics exactly but they did play specific artists in movies. And those artists were selections for a specific Music Club meeting. Can you guess the theme of the meeting?<br /><br />Game three:<br />Singer: Kate Bush<br />Song: Wuthering Heights<br />Book: Wuthering Heights<br />Author: Emily Bronte<br /><br />, , Charlotte Sometimes, (heard that recently on a podcast!) <br />Singer: The Cure<br />Song: Charlotte Sometimes (Also the name of a contestant eliminated from season 2 of THE VOICE) (I've heard. I wouldn't know that for sure.)<br />Book: Charlotte Sometimes<br />Author: Penelope Farmer<br /><br />Band:Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds<br />Song: There She Goes My Beautiful World<br />He mentions a few different people -<br />John Willmot penned his poetry/ riddled with the pox<br />Nabakov wrote on index cards/ at a lectem, in his socks<br />St. John of the Cross did his best stuff/ imprisoned in a box<br />And JohnnyThunders was half alive/ when he wrote Chinese Rocks<br />but other than Johnny Thunders the only author and what he wrote that is mentioned is-<br />Karl Marx squeezed his carbuncles/ while writing Das Kapital<br /><br />Guns N' Roses, November Rain, that was from a book??? I know, right? It was based on a short story called Without You by Del James. Never heard of it until now. <br /><br />Jefferson Airplane, White Rabbit, Alice In Wonderland, Lewis Caroll (Very Easy)<br /><br />Band: The Kingston Trio<br />Song:Where have all The Flowers Gone<br />Author:Mikhail Sholokhov<br />Novel: And Quiet Flows the Don <br />Another mystery.<br /><br />Metallica goes with ONE and Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. Though that could just as easily been based on the movie adapted from the book.<br /><br />Nirvana, sadly stumped.<br />Yes, that is sad-ish. <br />Scentless Apprentice is I guess based on Perfume by Patrick Süskind. they have since made a movie of it with Dustin Hoffman. <br /><br />The Police, Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Lolita, Nabokov (EASY) I needed to put something easy in. Everything else was so hard.<br /><br />The Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil<br />Don't feel dumb about this. I would have guessed the Bible if it was an option. Instead, it is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Yeah, who knew?<br /><br />Bruce Springsteen, Ghost of Tom Joad, Grapes of Wrath,John Steinbeck (my fantasy husband (Steinbeck, not Joad))<br />Really? Interesting.<br /><br />Sting, Moon Over Bourbon Street,Interview With A Vampire, Anne Rice, you are hilarious/cruel to Pat. <br />Fill me in. I may have forgotten something. Or never knew it.<br /><br />Velvet Underground, Venus In Furs,Venus In Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Supposedly where the term Sado-Masochism comes from.<br /><br />The Cure again, Killing An Arab, The Stranger, Camus (great article about him in the New Yorker recently) I heard the Cure sings it as Kissing An Arab so as to not be seen as condoning murder, just inappropriate behavior of any kind with total strangers. Seems like they aren't quite equal, though.<br /><br />Thanks again for playing & welcome home.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126790720149862388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309753892768707522.post-14696058597610319662012-04-20T10:56:43.496-07:002012-04-20T10:56:43.496-07:00Hard!!!
