In 1980 Todd Rundgren's band Utopia decided to create “a Beatle album” – that is a collections of songs that sounded as if they could have been written, performed and recorded by the Beatles. Even the lyrics would borrow heavily from Beatle quotes and lyrics. The album would be called Deface The Music. This idea of parroting the Beatles wasn't exactly new as just two years earlier, the fict...

Hey Ed, nice to meet you. Your profile here is quite interesting, I'm off to check out your website. Thanks for the friend req :)
I soooooo never knew Patti Smith had a mustache! Naturally, double entendre intended, she wouldn't do anything about the damn yecchh.
Hello Ed thank you for the add, i hope you enjoy my book reviews and recommendations :)

Hi, I just joined your discussion group Read 4 Reviews.
I'm about to read a non-fiction book by Ed Hamilton titled Legends of the Chelsea Hotel so I was wondering if it would be possible to start a thread in your group for it?
Hi Ed,Thanks for sending a friend request to this mystery author on Goodreads! I hope you will put my books, A Real Basket Case, To Hell in a Handbasket, Deadly Currents, and Wicked Eddies, on your to-read list.

Looking at your shelves, it looks like you and my husband might get along well. He likes punk, too. I do as well, but he's pretty hardcore and old-school about it :-) Nice to meet you, and thanks for the friend request!
Thank you for the friend invite hon. I gladly accept. Hope all is well and Happy New Year! Talk later hon :D
Hello Ed. Thanks so much for the friend invite!!!!
Don't know how you found me, but glad you did.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and book-filled holidays.
Thanks for the friend invite :)
Hi Ed -- Nice to meet you! Looking forward to reading your reviews!

That is one of many reasons as to why I am a strong supporter of topless jogging for women...

Hi Ed, thanks for the friend's request. :)Where did you find a an oddbod like me on GR? Just curious. :)
Hey, if you were a female and had small boobs and big nipples and then went jogging, they'd chafe real bad. You might not have to wear a bra, but you'd have to wear Band-Aids. LOL.
Thanks for the friend request! We have zero books in common, but that's good, as I need to get out of my comfort zone occasionally. Have a great day!

I was wondering about your comment that you dont like to read things that will disturb or haunt you. You mean like horror stories or true crime books about serial killer and things like that? I'm kinda the same way when it comes to the news. I can't listen to news about kids getting hurt and stuff like that. I just have to shut down when that crap comes on. Part of me is disappointed in myself, because these things are part of reality and to turn a blind eye on reality can lead to ignorance. On the otherhand I know these things exist - I'm not turning a blind eye to them, I'm simply choosing to fill my reality with positive stories and thoughts, etc. I've been criticized for this, but I honestly don't care. THere's really not much purpose for dwelling on negative crap
Thanks for the friend request! Looking forward to your posts. :)
Thank you for the friend invite - you have the honour of being my first male Goodreads friend! Not a small honour, let me tell you. I laughed so much when I pressed "compare books" with you - the result was zero! :-D Oh, the book discussions that we'll have! :-D

Hello Ed! Thanks for the friend request. :)
Nice to meet you Ed. Thanks for friending me. Looking forward to your posts.
Hi Ed, thanks for the friendship. I checked out your blog. Your Romney commentary was very interesting, lol. I have to say, I'm an extreme fiction reader with a sprinkling of non-fiction, and I read way more than I review. I think the reason for my love of fiction is it's ability to dream the unimaginable. Looking forward to your reviews.Dottie :)
Hello Ed!Thank you for adding me.
It is nice to see someone who enjoys to read about Videogames and the culture surrounding them (Btw, any personal faves from back then?) & Ron Paul... I am not American but sure do like his political stance.
