Stop By And Visit McSweeney's

Okay, so we're going for three posts today. I couldn't resist.

Thanks to Bookseller Chick and POD-dy Mouth for drawing attention to Timothy McSweeney's blog. McSweeney has a series of posts purporting to be from the editors for various songwriters giving feedback on lyrics for best-selling songs. They're hysterical.

Here's the link for Axl Rose's "Sweet Child O' Mine":

But be sure to check out the others. I was particularly fond of the letter to Carly Simon regarding "You're So Vain." There was a lot of speculation as to whom Carly was singing about in that song. The consensus seems to be Warren Beatty although Mick Jagger and Kris Kristofferson were also likely suspects.

Enjoy!
