Singer - A decade since she died - (Language warning).

 

10th Anniversary

This was written at the time, literally on the day she died.

If easily offended, don't read on.

Chrissie Amphlett died today

 

When you can take no more

Lay down to die

And there’s plenty who

Would love to sink the boot in

Just once

To feel what it’s like

No matter the impact to you

Without the promise of punishment.

 

Though you’ve done the rounds

With the same commitment

Again and again

Through sweat and creative candle burning flames

It’s only when you flash your pussy

Do they stop to stare

And take notice of what you’ve always had

To offer.

 

Such a pity

You had to be the schoolgirl first

With skirt raised

And cunt as prospect

For the songs to burn.

April, 2013

Not your usual dedication but that's what was written. The point being that she was far more than her sexualised persona. 

Superb band. I loved them. The Good Die Young indeed. Aged 53, Chrissie died from breast cancer on the 21st April 2013 in Manhattan. She had battled it for years. She also had MS which limited the type of treatment she could have.

She formed the Divinyls with Mark McEntee in 1980. Their often volatile relationship lead to many changes in the line-up but they did produce six albums. They were also in a relationship for eleven years. They split in '93 and the band in 1996. She was also an actress, playing Russell Crowe's mum in the musical Blood Brothers.

I got a Million Views! - Plus a mixed bag of goodies

Hey,

Hope you're doing well. 

A mixed bag for you this week. Some news, two playlists and a meme I made a couple of years ago below called Steadying. 

Firstly, a YouTube Playlist I made a few years ago receives 1K views a day. I didn't even realise until a few months ago. It hit a million views a week ago! Exciting stuff. It's called... well, you can see.

Here's the link if you want to listen. 

A lot of great songs, many of which you may not have heard. 

Once I knew it was being watched a lot, I added a lot more videos to it, many of which I hadn't heard of. Plenty you will know too. I've put them in an order so it's very structured. 

A great mix for parties!

(I also have a new Playlist - The Best of 2021 HERE).

Steadying.

I began working for BrightSide Channel on YouTube last week. They have over 42 million subscribers with 9.5 billion video views. I'm a freelancer Scriptwriter. No. 14. Ha ha 

I'll only be required to turn in two scripts a week. But once I claim one (they provide the topics), I only have 24 hours to turn it in. It's fact heavy so a lot of research involved. A day's work. I get paid per script. It works out about eight Aussie dollars an hour. I hope to get faster in time.

I'll share the link when it's online. If they accept the script! If you're rejected several times, it's sayonara baby!

(*Update - the Head Scriptwriter loved the script. It's onto the Production Phase. I shall post it when it's done. It's about the planet Arrakis from Dune. Exciting stuff!).

Lastly, been some delay with the Perve cover. (This version is mine). The designer works for a major publisher and had a couple of urgent jobs. She's going to give me a discount. I'm still planning on a February release. We shall see.

As always, swing by my site for any books, video or downloads. 

Still have time for Xmas gifts! 

There's plenty of free material there if you're bored, including video stories, short films, poetry, satire, short stories, audio books and more.

Peace

Anthony
