I'm reading Salman Rushdie's MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN; just finished Madison
Smartt Bell's ALL SOUL'S RISING.

I used to work for an historian. She'd go ballistic when I would ask her
if history was truth or facts. Then, I was reading Carlos Fuentes'
TERRA NOSTRA.

Do they know about the blues song WANG-DANG-DOODLE?

"Tell Automatic Slim,
tell Razor-totin' Jim,
we gonna pitch us all a Wang-Dang-Doodle
all night long
all night long
all night long."

I like Koko Taylor's version.
