High Fidelity

Met and spoke with a hero of mine tonight, Nick Hornby.
.
Nick's book, High Fidelity, opened a writing door for me six years ago, that's never closed. Hornby's love of music and it's centric inclusion in his work, convinced me I could mix my passions into stories I wanted to tell.

Nick and I agreed, we hope to hear new stuff from Peter Wolf (formerly with the J Geils Band).

I gave Nick a story I dedicated to him, saturated with musical references, Vinyl Medication. His big smile made my night.

Thank you, A.L.P. love, Tommy

High Fidelity/Elvis Costello

Some things you never get used to
Even though you're feeling like another man
There's nothing that he can do for you
To shut me away as you walk through
Lovers laughing in their amateur hour
Holding hands in the corridors of power
Even though Im with somebody else right now
High fidelity
Can you hear me?
There's a new kind of dedication
Maybe you'll find it down the tunnel
Maybe I got above my station
Maybe you're only changing channel
Even though you're nowhere near me
And I know you kiss him so sincerely now
Even though the signals indistinct
And you worry what silly people think
Who just cant wait to feel so frozen out
I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions
I suppose hell never know about
High Fidelity
