Iceman, the song

Check it out. “Iceman,” the song! Keith Cole, the lead singer in Legato Vibe, was kind enough to share this with me. He wrote it along with band members Keith Davis (drums), John Neilds (guitar), and Jude Elion (bass). Andy Zimmerman plays keyboards in the band. It’s a great tune, and I think they really capture the spirit of the Iceman here. Good job, guys!

Anthony's Writing

The Temptations of St. Frank (Literature & Fiction)

1 chapters — updated Nov 11, 2009 07:38am

Description: Imagine Catch-22’s Captain Yossarian in high school. Imagine Prep written by a guy. Imagine the heroes of Superbad as seniors at St. Anselm’s Preparatory School for Boys. Imagine the narrator of Philip Roth’s Goodbye, Columbus as a Catholic. Imagine J.P. Donleavy’s The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B. set in New Jersey in 1970. Seventeen-year-old Frank Grimaldi wants one thing more than anything else—to have sex before he graduates. Too bad his crazy teachers, insane parents, the Catholic Church, and the Mafia are all standing in the way. THE TEMPTATIONS OF ST. FRANK… a Catholic school coming-of-age novel.

When it's good it's very very good (the "fish man" chapter), but when it's bad (i.e. self-pitying), it's a yawn.
