Neil Diamond is God

Post by **mccutcheon** » Wed Jul 31, 2002 6:20 pm

The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, yet it is one of the most difficult to understand or define.

You either hear it, or you don't. It either moves you, or it leaves you cold...it is more than just a sound...it is the soul itself.

Neil Diamond, 1974.

and roger chapman (i mean the 1960s chapman with family; if neil diamond is god's voice then chapman is the devil's).

and that incredible spanish singer from the newest, unbearably good almodovar movie "talk with her". who is he? i'd like to know, since his voice made me cry.

(i'd write about the movie elsewhere on this bb but i don't want to crowd everything else out like bozo).

You'll never be a bozo. don't even mention that virus. Martino and I talked on the phone yesterday. I don't have a good phone voice. I'm a better talker in person, which is good for us because Martino is coming to Seattle to talk publishing with me. McCutcheon stories might get a European distributor and also translated into German.

yep, i'm coming to seattle to meet with le big mac and we will be talking about the writing, wine, women and the weed.

h. seems to be kicking his ass to reno so we won't have much time, and thus will have to concentrate on the biz as opposed to the booze. no matter - this is going to be great for me, i am sure.

thanks for the kind offer, brett. alas, i will be in eugene until the morning of labor day, driving up then, so i think it is no go. but i always appreciate the kindness of strangers.

the bit about reno is wrong, of course. it kinda sounded good when i wrote it though.

I have a cabin on Camano Island. It's a great place to barbeque, drink, read and water ski. If you guys ever make it up that far north you should drop by. I'll be there with the wife Labour Day weekend. Just a humble suggestion.

and you have a swell phone voice too, which i am sure you know. as if it mattered. the writing is the key

Thanks for the offer Brett. But as I'm moving life is a bit madder now than ever. I have no time for fun. Except for the occasional bit's here and there.
