Top2Bottom Takes on Danube Divide

Lisa over at Top2Bottom Reviews plowed her way through my heavy historical tale, Danube Divide. Set in Rome's Eastern Empire, Lisa read about war, religion, torture, man-on-man sex, and (gasp) romance, and she lived to tell about it. Better yet, she wrote a very useful review and I like what she thinks.

Danube Divide by Jardonn Smith is the link if you're curious.

Peter Gabriel Concert

After his appearance on David Letterman Wednesday night, Peter Gabriel gave a one-hour concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

Aside from the fact his lyrical messages from 30 years ago are relevant today, his voice remains mostly the same as it was on those albums I bought 30 years ago. Pretty amazing stuff for free from the CBS web site... Go watch and listen.
