I thought I would have a column in the Sanford News this week, but it won't be in the paper until next week or the week after. But I am still in the paper this week because my picture appears in an article on Goodall Library's book sale. So I'm really having a big month. Like George Costanza had the Summer of George, this might be my April of Gary!
I know, that was stupid. So last night I watched the documentary Lemmy, about Lemmy from Motorhead, of course. I love that the fathers of metal, guys like Ozzy and Lemmy, love the Beatles. Even today, they talk about them with awe. The best part of the documentary, to me, was near the beginning when they show Lemmy going to a record store to buy a Beatles box set. Then he said something really interesting, which I've heard before but most people don't realize. He said something like, "Most people think the Beatles were the nice guys and the Stones were the tough guys, but it was the other way around. The Beatles came from the streets of Liverpool, a really tough city, and the Stones came from middle class homes in the outskirts of London". That's basically what he said.
I'm reading a book by Elizabeth Strout, The Burgess Boys. I like that part of it is set in Maine, that's always interesting to me. Not all books set in Maine are good, but this one is.
