Good one, J P.

The Getaway in Space

"Love In Space" - a 2011 Romantic Comedy from Hong Kong

"How To Say Goodbye In Space" - 2008 British Sci-Fi

Lord of the Rings In Space -- A Saturn Tale

lol.  Maybe for titles with 'Space' in them, it should be "In Big Space."

Wait... How exactly did I inspire you, Rhia? Not that I don't wanna be an inspirational figure, but...

HOW THE HECK @ Twitter? Am I right?

Seriously, though... I've recently been inspired by a YOUTUBE trend where people react to popular music. The twist being that it's black people listening to hard rock and heavy metal for the first time/white people listening to rap and R&B for the first time. Honest reactions, they call it. And so... I thought it might be a nice writing exercise (perhaps even a contest) where me and my fellow TNBW'ers react to an unfamiliar song or musical genre in a "literary" way. In a way using narrative competence, that is. In order to argue the reasons why you, and other people, should or should not enjoy it.

For instance: If you love jazz, take a listen to Master of Puppets by Metallica and then write about the experience of hearing it. If you already love Metallica, take a listen to Take Five by Dave Brubeck and do the same. The possibilities are endless, actually. And fun. I think. Then again, I dunno.

Cheers

It sounds interesting, John, but I don't know where they find people who have never listened to a particular type of music. I mean, you don't have to listen to all the time, but it's real hard not to hear it along the way somewhere, somehow. Like all these reality shows that ain't reality, but hell, folks still watch them like they are. Beats the hell outta me what their concept of reality is. At any rate, I'm game if you wanna set it up, but if you make me listen to rap for too long, you better have a good prize pool, lol. Take care. Vern
