Today while wasting time, because I had to wait for something, I spent time in a book store. Out the front they had a book by Jason Donovan, the former Neighbours star & singer. Not that I’ve ever been a fan, don’t watch soapies, but I was interested enough to search the book online tonight. […]

Today I came across this news story about Jimi Hendrix. The article is a review for the book Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience. This book is an exciting take on material already known & shown about Hendrix; the difference being about 30 interactive pieces, which are reproductions from actual ephemera of the guitar legend’s life, […]

I read this news story with interest. Seems somebody thinks Britney Spears is going to publish her diary. Somebody else says this won’t be happening.

I read this article about singer/songwriter Cary Brothers today. In the article he makes this statement:
“I feel like I’ve been writing a personal journal since I was 16 years old, and now I’m showing that journal to the whole world. ”
If Brothers keeps a journal or not, his reference inspired me to ask the question; […]
