But you have to admit this is the first time People have been excited about Bond in years.
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Well, maybe. If only to see how that...=unusual= title can translate into a Bond flick. Amy Winehouse was supposed to do the theme song. She couldn't concentrate long enough to do it. (Her sad, bad habits could not have helped either.) I've been writing lyrics for a long time, know how to do it, but that pseudo-poetic phrase doesn't lend itself to anything that would make sense. Not like, say, GOLDFINGER. But give me and me songwriting partner John Borg 50 large up-front, and we will write a # 1.:hello:

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:No two ways about it. I =love= the song, MY TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN. But Monday night at my evil uptown hangout Marty O'Briens' Irish Pub, me conductor pal John and I listened to the tune, and didn't he say, "Michael, listen to the changes: it's AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN, right?" "Well...well...John, there are =similarities=... But she's working in that tradition, right?" "Michael, you got ears. Same progression." And I took that bad, for some reason. Came down to a foight: my knife against his conductor's baton.
Luckily it's a cop bar. They saved my life.

The =next= one though...that might make up for it. 2111: "OK...this is the last nuclear weapon on Earth...you fucking aliens let the little girl go RIGHT NOW and MAYBE I won't ignite it...but I HATE to make promises I can't keep...Sarah...you OK?...don't cry, honey...Mommy and Daddy will be right here soon... Do you UNDERSTAND what the situation IS here, hivemaster?"
I can hardly wait!
