july 2 in idea barrages

1.) Where the seamstress for the band in TINY DANCER and the tailor in HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN related somehow? Grandmother and grand daughter? That’s my new head canon.

2.) A mash-up of the X-Files theme and a Cher song called “I Want To Believe In A Life After Love”.

3.) I would rather say “I am trying my best to be a straight ally” than “I am a straight ally”. I’m constantly learning and growing in my understanding of how to best help my LGBTQ friends and, indeed, sometimes make mistakes. “Trying to be an ally” seems more honest.

4.) If the characters in GREASE were even still alive at all by this point, they would be bitter ancient Trump voters.

5.) I just want your book about the successful importation of IKEA to North America to be called “Bjorn In The USA”, all right? It’s not that much to ask.

6.) A parody of Soundgarden “Burden in my hand” about the Hamburglar?

7.) I think marathons would be more metal if we called them “death marches”.

8.) That which does not kill you makes you tired.
