I check them out pretty regularly. The only reason I don’t listen more is I don’t want to be subliminally coming up with your lines and titles when I finally get one I like. Always been a fan anyway but you know that. Ran across a line in a Pete Hamill novel that I really covet and wish I could use. The character is a criminal who has arranged false identities and cash getting ready to blow town…”tomorrow he’ll be a citizen of the wind”.
That is brilliant and theft-worthy. I’m thinking you better get it before Bob D. The archive will have to wait a bit, none of the links work!
Here’s my question to the only real song writer I know. Would it be unethical to use Citizen of the wind in any lyrical context since I will have lifted it? I know part of my guess would be, only if I made a lousy hash out of the lyric. But what if it didn’t stink? I’ve been making a discipline of writing something – anything every day, no matter what. At first I didn’t think it would really yield anything, but there have been moments. I’m still early in the curve, but I can see where the constant discipline makes sense. Anyway, when you see a line like that it just knocks you over.

Oh, one more thing. My computer had a big data loss last week. Lost lots of e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. Yours is among the lost. Can you send an update? I’m probably gonna have to break down and get a new computer in the next week or two, as the latest repair looks like it may not hold. Nearly ten years on this machine so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
Hi Richard,
You know there is a song called Gone With The Wind, right? I have heard Dan Hicks cover it. I say go ahead and don’t tie yourself up in knots about it. You can’t copyright a title and I imagine even a phrase like that is fair game.
