Literary Music

I love this idea of artists inspiring other artists. What gets me to write the most is when I am exposed to a great movie, an incredible painting, an amazng performance. Check this video of songs that were inspired by literature. Who knew George Orwell inspired so many?!?!?

Ahh, the joy of the great circle of creativity! I was surprised to discover that listening to favorite music while jogging is when I get some of my best ideas.

I totally agree on the inspiration front. This is a very freshman-year-core-lit group of books, which makes me wonder...do rock stars all drop out after 10th grade?

Good collection of music. I remember that The Stranger cover well. I always feel terrible that I don't like Dylan. I just don't.

I especially like it when artists inspire each other from one medium to the other.
