I've been writing for various and sundry publications since 1985, a few of which have actually paid (Goldmine, The Trouser Press Record Guide and a few others). I certainly couldn't pay the rent with what I make, but it's a nifty little supplement to my regular income. Also, I'm starting work on a pop/power pop book and hopt to enlist several Auditeers' help with it. John B. np: The excellent new Lolas CD---Tim Boykin does it again!
