Every Day I Write The Book

A while back I was invited by Diogenese to participate in the "Why I Blog" project over at QuasiFictional. There are a lot of great responses over there and I was flattered to be asked why I pollute the cybersphere with my rambles. Head on over and take a look and if you want to participate click here.

Few Rambles here for you I collected over the course of my weekend. First off...Attention Johnny Depp Lovers. Rumor patrol has it that he is the first choice to play.....Michael Hutchence in a bio pic. Talk about wet dream material. Depp playing Hutch. It would be interesting. There is a likeness there. Short of Bono circa 87ish, I can't think of anyone else who really looks or has the Hutch vibe.

In other Music as a movie news, I am frickin champing at the bit for Control the bio pic of Ian Curtis lead singer of Joy Division. Anton Corbijn directed it. You all probably would know him best for his lifetime of U2 pictures including the iconic Joshua Tree shots. Anton knew Ian and actually photographed Joy Division. In addition the members of New Order, Ian's wife AND mistress have all participated and gave a thumb up. So distribute it in the USA already! Damn!

Finally on a serious note, I am sure most of you have heard of the Georgia "sex abuse" case regarding Teen Genarlow Wilson who was sent to jail for consensual oral sex with a 15 year old while he was 17. Which is fucking retarded. Mind you, Georgia has some seriously fucked up blue laws most of which yours truly has broken. But if anyone out thinks 15-17 year olds are not fucking they need to pull their heads out of the sand and take a deep breath. The court in their wisdom have overturned the sentence, but the Georgia Attorney General appears to have both a hard on for this poor kid AND his head up his ass and is appealing the courts decision. Please join me in signing Color Of Change's petition demanding that AG Thurbert Baker drop his appeal.
