However, "Behind Blue Eyes" (The Who) did inspire the killer in <I>The Feline Friendship</I>. <BR/><BR/>Neil Jordan's <I>The Dream of A Beast</I> sounds kind of like what you're talking about, though it's more like poetry than music.

One of them asks him what he wants his next book to be about, and he responds with the idea of an entire novel taking place over the course of a pop song: a man sits at a table in a cafe, watching his daughter spin to Peter Jurmu - Creative Bylinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769888278419101962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29793018.post-22268214422913968652008-08-26T10:40:00.000-05:002008-08-26T10:40:00.000-05:00Thanks Woodstock.

That was really the inspiration for CHICAGO BLUES, btw. I don't know if we accomplished it -- the difference between the sensibility of the music, and the cerebral quality of the prose still seems like a chasm I can never cross.

Otherwise I end up singing along and forget the business at hand. It can be blues, jazz or pop, sometimes even classical---and sometimes I DO hum, but that's diffrent, right? When I read "The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society" I heard WWII songs in my head. When I read books set in Chicago, I usually hear the blues.

I have probably half a dozen stories that were either directly inspired by specific songs, including Sinatra's rendition of "Moonlight Serenade" (which also plays a key role in the story), Pinetop Seven's "Quit These Hills", and Silver Jews' "Smith & Jones Forever."

I was listening to a group called Blackbird playing a piece which ought to be watched instead of just heard--they apparently had a friend who's a ballet choreographer show them how to go in motion with the piece, so they race around the performance space playing notes on different instruments as they pass one another, and the melody and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
