Dear GK,
Many thanks for your continuing support for Doghouse Blues. The satire should have reached the top 5 in April, but its progress has been sabotaged by a group from the zealous thought police who award the novel 1 star and encourage others to do the same. Hence it has slipped down the chart twice, and probably will in June as well.
I have gone back to CBGB was my High School many times. You really have captured the zeitgeist of NY in the mid to late seventies new wave era. This is one of the very few books on Authonomy I can relate to. Brings back a lot of memories of seeing Patti Smith at the Roundhouse in ‘75 and the Shepherds Bush Empire in 2012, Television and Blondie at the Rainbow in ‘77, Television at the Town & Country 2 in 1993, Talking Heads at Hammersmith Palais in ‘78 Lou Reed at the Bottom Line, NY in 1982, and the Hammersmith Odeon in 1992, John Cale at Fairfield Halls in 1975, and the VU at Wembley Arena in 1993.
Hope your novel is doing well via YouTube.
Kind regards,
Clive
