An old friend of mine sent me the following and his authors and poets included a variety of artists from all walks of, you know, art- not just authors and poets in the strictest sense. Im not sure that Im fazebook-savvy enough to share it properly and/or to share it with a specific group of fifteen contacts and, well, I havent given much thought to a group o fifteen (and I think thats perhaps part of the point) but, you know, what th? Lets give it a run: My 15 literary influences in 15 minutes. The Rules: Dont take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) whove influenced you and that will always stick with you (for whatever reason). List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag at least 15 friends, including me, because Im interested in seeing what authors my friends choose. (To do this, copy this intro, paste the intro into the body and start your list. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr John Prine Neil Young Todd Rundgren Charles Bukowski J.D. Salinger Jack Kerouac t.s. eliot Richard Brautigan Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend William Shakespeare John Lennon Andrei Codrescu Homer Allen Ginsberg Red Barber I dunno. Hit me up in a few days and you might get a completely different list... except for, you know, the top five or so. And how about you?
