Last Chance Texaco by Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones came into prominence during a critical phase of my life so her music is ingrained in my personal soundtrack. Fascinating read on what it means to be an artist, not a pop/rock star.

The Origins of You by Vienna Pharaon
Rate this book
Clear rating
Important work for anyone involved in self discovery. First three quarters of the book is strong and thought provoking. The last quarter fizzles out a bit. Overall an important work.
Tommy White and the Mystic Desgracia by George Ciuri
"The story of Tommy White is one of faith and perseverance. Tommy went through serious life challenges that only few of us have faced in life.

However, Tommy shows us that we can always triumph over anything. All we have to do is to be good to others," Read more of this review »

“I would rather avoid disaster than take it out for dinner and a movie. - Chynna Lennox
Jim Cooper, Twisted Ties

“Nobody's perfect. Well, there was this one guy, but we killed him....”
Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“I thought such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish.”
Anne Lamott

“Stephenie Meyer: Her vampires are sparkly, which I think we can all agree is wrong.”
Christopher Moore

“Stop pathetically believing that you deserve fame or fame deserves you. It's yucky, and it's only making you miserable, so stop.”
Cintra Wilson, A Massive Swelling: Celebrity Reexamined as Grotesque Crippling Disease and Other Cultural Revelations
