Kinda think Michael Penn's "No Myth" would translate well to a modern country cover version.

Pirates of the Caribbean needs a prequel trilogy that explains the rise of the British empire. I want to know more about this fantasy world!

This is my most-played album of the last six months. Maybe 2026 will be the year other people fall for Tiny Voices the way I did back in 2003.
So when you held me tight against you
And I mistook your heart for thunder
And like a flag, hid behind and under you
Who could blame me? www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdTF...

My (allegedly full-time) job just cut everyone’s hours to save money and I’m now working three 6.5 hour shifts a week. If anyone would like to pay me to write or needs a part time FOH professional (20 years in hospitality), I’d love some extra work so I can stay alive.

The comparison in the footnotes made me smile. Though some of the story tropes are products of their time (racism, sexism, etc) the friendship of the pair is special. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser forever.

This is definitely true for me. Leiber was a terrific influence, both as a fantasy writer and an sf writer. Genius, and now virtually out of print.

That Other American Tolkien
When I was a child, the novels of Fritz Leiber were way more important to me than The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. If anything Tolkien was the British Leiber
