It really didn't penetrate my consciousness - I heard about it on the news but my mind and heart were so filled with the dashing Jean-Benoit and the beastliness of Rockingham that I simply couldn't process grubby current affairs.Originally Posted by Burney
No. You may keep your Russians. As novelists go, there is no one to touch Daphne.
She's underrated and out of fashion, certainly. However, I think you may be overstating matters somewhat.
On another note, your nostalgic memory sounded like a very English, middle-aged version of the first verse of Tom Petty's 'Running Down A Dream'.
Tom Petty - now there's underrated.
That's a decent call, actually.
I've always found Tom Petty a little bit like greg mitchell's description of lesbian porn; like Wiltord, it goes round and round in circles and nothing really happens. I always want Tom's song to get on with it and do something!
Meanwhile, I was picturing myself more in a Jungleland scenario.
The Rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
Over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance
And disappear down Flamingo Lane
