I want to go on record for the first time and say that I really apologise for the whole thing. I really love Cat Stevens. I truly respect him as a great singer-songwriter. And now he wants his money. There was a time during the recording when we said, this has a similarity to "Father And Son". Then we purposefully changed those bits. But I do regret not contacting his record company and asking their opinion. Maybe we could have gone As it is, Cat Stevens is now getting 75 percent of royalties from "Fight Test", We could easily have changed the melody but we didn't. I am really sorry that Cat Stevens thinks I'm purposefully plagiarising his work. I am ashamed. There is obviously a fine line between being inspired and stealing. But if anyone wanted to borrow part of a Flaming Lips song, I don't think I'd bother pursuing it. I've got better things to do. Anyway, Cat Stevens is never going to make much money out of us. The cover was the sixth biggest selling boy band single of the s in the UK, [ citation needed ] selling , copies receiving a Platinum sales status certification.

This story takes place in a mean world where people do their best and sometimes that is still not good enough no matter how hard they try but they keep on going. They persevere and they try to help each other out, no matter what the personal toll may be. Parts of this story will give you the chills other parts will make you just rejoice at the human spirit. It will stick with you. You can't help but be moved by this story. Another one for the best reads stack. I must be having a lucky streak with all of the good books I have been reading lately but I have to also give this one 5 stars. Highly recommended if you enjoy Southern Lit. This one will haunt you for a while though. Oct 14, Jimmie rated it it was amazing. This is my first Larry Brown book; it will not be my last. Brown's writing is phenomenal in his ability to paint characters outside of most people's experience as well as describe settings in such a way that I found it hard to comprehend--a description of the trailer "home" of a minor character is worth the reading of the book. After reading Serena recently, I am again struck with the main character's lack of compassion, empathy in his thoughts, intentions, and indeed actions. Yet just when the This is my first Larry Brown book; it will not be my last. Yet just when the reader is convinced there is no humanity left in this individual, Brown gives him a breath of regret for what he has done and causes the reader to react to the surprise of feeling some compassion for him. This is not a predictable story line--at least, it was not for me. The suspense is not resolved until the very last pages of the book. Brown caused me to certainly "turn the page" although I sometimes did that with dread of what might happen next. Glen Davis spent three years in jail for killing a young boy while he was driving drunk. He gets early parole, and returns to his small hometown in Mississippi. But trouble is brewing. Glen is one of those types who thinks the world is always against him, and he has some swift and cruel retribution to hand out. Typical of the southern Glen Davis spent three years in jail for killing a young boy while he was driving drunk. Typical of the southern gothic genre is the sparse and fearless prose, but the degree of dirt and grit maybe more than some can handle. There are few, if any, niceties. The central theme that Brown addresses is whether evil is embedded at birth or due to circumstances, which he carefully describes. Just as the reader weighs the question up as the events circle, the expected outcome is reached, but in a totally unexpected way. This will stick with me for a long time. More Brown for me please, he really is good. Feb 23, Kirk Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: southern-literature. My second that I have read by Brown and I am understanding him a little better. His slow pacing sets a mood and it just can't be rushed. By the second chapter there is a bloody bar fight with a mean little yellow-fanged monkey that left me laughing and shaking my head. Lots of action and violence, I plan to vote this in the top five on a list: "Country Noir". Larry Brown is a real trickster. He creates lousy mean characters that as soon as you are ready to write them off as unredeemable killers My second that I have read by Brown and I am understanding him a little better. He creates lousy mean characters that as soon as you are ready to write them off as unredeemable killers, he takes you out with them for a day of fishing and you start questioning yourself that maybe they have some good in them, and next you are questioning why you should even be judging them. Very complex characters and very satisfying, tension builds till the last pages. Looking forward to his others I've saved FAY, maybe one of his best, for last. Sep 03, Ruth Turner rated it liked it Shelves: southern-lit. I only discovered southern literature when I joined Goodreads and I've read some amazing books since then. When I saw all the great reviews for Father and Son I was sure this one would be added to the ever growing list. Not so. It took me nearly half the book to get interested. The characters were flat and bland, so much so that I had trouble keeping the who's who straight. The writing was choppy at times and rambling at others. I found myself re-reading sentences or paragraphs trying to clarify w I only discovered southern literature when I joined Goodreads and I've read some amazing books since then. I found myself re-reading sentences or paragraphs trying to clarify what the author was telling me. The story line was excellent; dark, disturbing and at times difficult. It ended up being a good read after all, just not a great one. Apr 02, Michael rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Steinbeck lovers, southern writer fans, family relationship fans.
