An Introduction to Leslie Fish

[Lesliefish]

I've got another entry at my blog -- LeslieBard -- that folks here might enjoy. Be warned; it's about a Forbidden Word and a true story.

 

[Tyanna of Pentos]

I think it's very important to observe that we've become more obsessed with the form of language than with the content of speech or character. We've created a world in which people are judged based solely on their choice in words. This itself is particularly contradictory with the fact that we've simplified speech the entire time. So we've made our discourse coarse, but we've also started to judge people on it. In short, we've created a perilous world in which innocent mistakes of well-meaning people are inherently wrong. It's sort of like the government passing laws in which intent doesn't matter; the criminalisation of mistakes has become very common in the modern world.

 

[Lesliefish]

Indeed! Too much of modern society is concerned with form rather than substance.

BTW, I've got a new book -- "Nobody's Victims" -- up on Amazon. Anybody want to do the book review?

I could add it to the top of my reading list.

I could add it to the top of my reading list.

Could? Pfft. Let's see the description:

A woman oddly eager to rent a haunted apartment... a girl with poetic and prophetic movies in her head... an urban road warrior with psychic talent... an oppressed poet with an unusually wise dog... a betrayed cave-climber harrows hell... an old widow defeats an army... a primitive hunter's view of a grim ancient tale... weird stories of women who are nobody's victims -- by filksinger Leslie Fish.

Knowing Leslie this will be fun.

I've got a picture on my Facebook page showing what I'll be doing for Halloween. I wish I could show it here, but I just dunno how! If anybody wants to post it for me, be my guest. Happy BOOOO! day!

I had a lot of fun, and so did the kids -- who got a lot of candy. Now if I can just find some local venues to sing at for the rest of the year...

Good luck, hope you can find some work.

 

[Tyanna of Pentos]

It would be wonderful to see the pictures!

BTW: My computer hiccupped and LOST MY ENTIRE ADDRESS BOOK!!! Anybody who ever has, or would like to, exchange holiday cards with me, write to me at my email or snail-mail address above and give me your email and snail-mail addy, and I'll try to get back to you before Twelfth Night. Best,

Thank you very much! Now I must send a card.

The best source is my music publisher, Random Factors Ltd., run by Mary Creasey, whom you can also find on Facebook. I have a few books and albums on Amazon, but I have trouble finding them myself.

I remember getting stuff from Random Factors website being a pain, but either I'm too tired or it's gotten worse.
Search | com.com seems to lead to a blank page
and googling "Random Factors Ltd." returns a bunch of posts on this site, your blog, and trademark searches.

I've been enjoying much of your music on Youtube practically since it existed, do you have a tip jar or something I could pay you for that?

BTW, I've got a new book -- "Nobody's Victims" -- up on Amazon. Anybody want to do the book review?

Not if I have to pay Amazon for it. I try and avoid paying amazon for anything. While I doubt that will actually have any effect on them being an 8000 lb gorilla swinging their weight around, at least I avoid contributing (much) to it.
My current favorite online general book seller is Smashwords – Home but there are a bunch of others (although I can understand going with Amazon unlimited if that's what you did).

I very much enjoyed Nobody's Victims but am in possession of a truly atrocious keyboard, so I'll have to wait a bit to review!
