"Kasey Musgraves wrote this song, and Roger did an amazing job covering it. I found this song in an airport right before a long trip I took for some shows I played last year and I remember listening to it about 100 times in a row. It’s just a great song and Roger did it justice. Even if I don’t smoke weed"

I found this book a fascinating expose about the death penalty and the corruption of the Texan justice system. However, like many of the other review writers I lost interest towards the end and felt Grisham spent too much time on his soap box at the expense of good storytelling. Overall a fascinating, challenging read but bit disappointing towards the end.

"“This French writer was new to me; I found his novel in a hurry at the airport. It’s very funny, full of insight on being arrogant and getting old, and on being a servant who is generous of spirit. Humility, grumpiness, some tender love, and brutal violence. I will now investigate all of Garnier’s other books — there are about 60!”"

"I just finished Moby-Dick, which scared me off for a long time due to the hype of its difficulty. I found it to be a beautiful boy’s adventure story and not that difficult to read. Warning: You will learn more about whales than you have ever wished to know. On the other hand, I never wanted it to end."

"This was a life changing record for me because, up to that point, I was lost. Really disenfranchised. I really hadn't found anybody else who was singing my song, so to speak. But Bon [Scott] really embodied everything that I thought a frontman should be. And between Malcolm and Angus [Young] I knew of no guitar duo at that time that touched them."

2002 | Drama, Mystery

"Christopher Nolan’s American remake was perfectly fine, but it still couldn’t capture the gut-twisting oppressiveness of Erik Skjoldbjaerg’s original. Anchored by Stellan Skarsgard’s impeccable portrayal of a man drowning in his own sins, this is the neonoir that truly turned noir on its head: darkness becomes something you pray for, while light is a straight razor that’s found entrance to your brain."
