Prove Violence Doesn’t Work: Do Good In Lennon’s Name This December 8th
This morning I had a great idea: “Wouldn’t it be great if everybody who loved John Lennon and The Beatles did something nice in his name on December 8th? Something that he might’ve done, if he were still here with us…like donating to the ACLU; eating organic (or even macrobiotic) for a day; spending some [...]

Today is a red-letter day for me, one that I’ve been thinking about and wishing for since 2007. It’s always incredibly meaningful for a writer to get thoughtful critique about his/her work. And when that critique is positive, it’s the kind of public, yet deeply personal compliment that’s difficult to explain–unless you’ve hung your own [...]

Anyone who’s read Life After Death for Beginners knows how complicated I think the relationship is between psychedelic compounds, homo sapiens’ taste for consciousness-expanding, and the US Government. Neither the conventional view of drugs as unmitigated evil, nor the countercultural belief that use of them is a human right, addresses the fact that since 1950 [...]

Friends/family/fans/fellow countrymen of the internet, Life After Death for Beginners… …my novel about a John Lennon-like rock star who survives an assassination attempt and has to go incognito to find out who shot him and why… …variously known, over the last three years, as “Beatle Noir,” “the little monster,” and “really, as good a reason [...]

Friday, September 17, 2010
This documentary from BBC’s “Timewatch” uncovers that the British Secret Service had a hand in the death of the death of Gregori Rasputin. In the words of TopDocumentaries.com: The programme-makers re-opened the investigation into his death and found conclusive evidence to suggest that Rasputin was murdered in St Petersburg in 1916 in a plot hatched [...]

Recovering Barry Trotter fan Kimberley Wintle forwarded me the trailer to her VERY FIRST MOVIE. Big Font, Large Spacing premiered in Atlanta last April. Sez Kimberley: “It’s also going to a festival in Iowa during August, it seems to be fairly popular with the American audiences so far, despite the dry wit of us Brits.” [...]

…and here’s a nice appreciation by blogger Edward Copeland. Copeland says he’s always shocked at how loose the film feels—how the dramatic elements (Danny and Maggie) seem to be at odds with the comedy; and of course they are. The movie is, to use my wife’s phrase, “a hot mess,” but it’s fantastically watchable. It’s [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
