On those days when I don't find anything interesting to blog about, I post an excerpt. I decided to do something a little different today. The next novel I will submit for publication is an almost 200,000 word rock n roll epic, Rising Star, the history of a band by that name. Each chapter begins with a quote from a song. I'm going to list the first ten. Guess the artist and title. Several contain the title in the quote, so that aspect shouldn't be too tough. The degree of difficulty will be in parentheses following each. The answer key will be below.
1. "...I know it's only rock 'n roll, but I like it...." (1)
2. "...I'm so tired of losin', but I still play the game...." (9)
3. "...Skating away on the thin ice of a new day...." (5)
4. "...Whole lotta love...." (1)
5. "...will they try to break my balls....?" (8)
6. "...White light gonna drive me out of my mind...." (8)
7. "...Who are you?" (1)
8. "...It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive...." (5)
9. "...You can't get romantic on the subway line...." (9)
10. "...Pump it up - 'though you don't really need it...." (8)
It looked like it would be a disappointing day at the floating book shop until Renee came along and bought Close to the Edge, ending a three-week drought in the sale of my own books. My thanks, and to Jack of Chase, who bought a thriller and returned two, and to the elderly Russian gentleman who donated five paperbacks.
