Half Gatsby

I am halfway through "The Great Gatsby" by F Scott Fitzgerald and to me, it is very American and reminds me a lot of "The Catcher In The Rye" by JD Salinger. Like that book, I find it boring but oddly captivating, but I am fine knowing that it is fairly short so I know I will finish it this week.

I am listening to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band who make even the most mundane music more than listenable to the point of being absolutely excellent.

I wrote a Vocal story called "The Great Catsby" that you can read below.

Also Leslie West of Mountain was a great guitarist and a very big man and I think he had an album or nickname called "The Great Fatsby"

If you want to buy a book my dark poetry is on the link below.

The music is "Everythings Gonna Be Alright" by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

Hair Like Gareth Ainsworth Blues

 Gareth Ainsworth is one of the most noticeable EFL managers because of his hair. He is also an absolutely wonderful person , a great manager loved my his team and fans and is a great and entertaining TV pundit as well. I chose the title because it made me think of "Hair Like Brian May Blues" by Half Man Half Biscuit and the title could definitely be a Nigel Blackwell song.

Gareth Ainsworth - Rock Star Manager

Gareth Ainsworth's team Wycombe Wanderers were promoted to the championship for the first time in their history, but despite their passion and entertaining football they are bottom of the league looking favourites for relegation. However Gareth won't fear for his job because of what he has done for the club. There are clubs with more money and resources languishing in League One and Two . Wycombe are sensible enough to realise that continuity can benefit the club.

Chris Wilder - Sheffield Steel

Sheffield United in the Premiership are in a similar position, but with a great guy , Chris Wilder , in charge. They overachieved last season, challenging for a European place, but this season looks like likely relegation. Their fans and the club will keep Chris Wilder because he brought them up from League One without spending a fortune and again he is a great speaker and obviously a good manager. Too many times clubs just cut  their manager off and go for someone off the England second rate mangers like West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United.

So you know what the song is that I am going to share , but as I write this I am listening to and original album series box featuring five Paul Butterfield albums , which is rather excellent.
