Count me in on the "Lover" love. That's definitely my pick for best song...and the reason why Grace never left my old, ancient dinosaur of a CD player for about 7 years.
I'm a veteran network news producer and manager, a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, and a writer who's been featured in the New York Observer and the Village Voice. I'm also the author of a book called Dead Star Twilight, as well as a new media consultant. To find out more about me and/or hire me, go here. You can contact me at: deusexmalcontent@gmail.com.
Follow the link to purchase my full-length memoir, Dead Star Twilight.
"As a blogger, Chez Pazienza is filled with outrage, passion and insight -- delivered with a distinctive point of view, a wicked sense of humor, and a two-fisted style of prose. In Dead Star Twilight, he turns all these on himself -- and produces a fierce, funny, disturbing, but ultimately uplifting memoir. This is the book A Million Little Pieces dreamed of being."
NICE THINGS SAID ABOUT ME AND THIS SITE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN LIFE:
"Interesting, unique... generally unassailable points."
-- Chuck Klosterman, best-selling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Eating the Dinosaur
"That mad bent towards suicidal honesty that all my favorite people share."
-- David Baerwald, Golden Globe-nominated singer-songwriter
"Cuts through media bullshit like a hot knife through bullshit."
-- Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com
"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."
-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008

YUM. VERY, VERY YUM.
okay, you're psychic. the day you posted helen mirren's gorgeous picture, my mom and i were talking about how stunning she still is.
today, my mom and i were listening to jeff buckley's beautiful version of "hallelujah," which makes both of us cry. those lyrics!
so, aside from being psychic, you have great taste!
My utter favourite Buckley song. The way it builds is just sublime. You're quite correct: perfection.
@ anonymous - You listen to Jeff Buckley with your mom? She's cool.
And I've always been a "Lover, You Should've Come Over" guy, but pretty much everything he did was genius.
A mention of Jeff Buckley always brings up the sad truth...only the good die young and talentless fucks stay around for eternity.
Lover, You Should've Come Over is probably my favorite song of the 90s. Maybe even of my lifetime.
Chez...I <3 you as much as a heterosexual man can <3 another man over these here internets.
