1. Motel Life, Willy Vlautin
2. Edson, Bill Morrissey
3. Tales from Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett
4. The Ass Saw The Angel, Nick Cave
5. In His Own Write, John Lennon
I LOVE Wlly’s down-and-out but redemptive in Reno novel. (Willy's band, Richmond Fontaine is catching on, here and in Europe.) Don't miss Bill Morrissey’s down and out in New England. Yes, Buffett can write; don’t miss the hurricane story. I confess I have not read # 4 or # 5, but those were the only other works of fiction by any musician I could find!
Now, who else do we think could write some great fiction? Chuck Prophet, Joni Mitchell, Alejandro Escovedo.
It's surprising that so many storytellers can't tackle a longer form.
Where is Cohen's "Beautiful Losers"? I also thought David Byrne's "Arboretum" has some cool stuff in it.
And don't forget the 50 Cent mysteries!

Edson by Bill Morrissey is a great overlooked novel. Why this didn't get noticed is beyond me. His music catalog is just a treasure as is this novel.

To offer a different perspective, I'm not sure that economics of transportation will ever drive us to become Locavores. Oil is but a sparse fraction of the cost of transport and distribution.
To me it is all about community and a healthy lifestyle. I would much prefer buying local even at higher cost because of the value to our community. And if we can get local volume over the threshold of economies of scale, then will be self sustaining. Unfortunately, Locavorism today is really on the fringe. In business terms, we need more market share - and then the economics will work too.

Some time before, I did need to buy a good car for my corporation but I didn't earn enough cash and could not buy anything. Thank heaven my sister suggested to try to get the credit loans at reliable bank. Hence, I acted so and was satisfied with my collateral loan.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
