"Make Love Stay" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter #DanFogelberg, and released as a single in January 1983. It was one of two new songs included on his 1982 greatest hits album, along with the song "Missing You". Fogelberg later described "Make Love Stay" in the liner notes to a retrospective album as a "sinuous piece written around a chapter of #TomRobbins' #StillLifeWithWoodpecker" and as "a musical question that, unfortunately.

I picture him using a rather large thumb to hitch a ride to his new destination;) #TomRobbins

RIP Tom Robbins, a great author, known for Jitterbug Perfume and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.
But Skinny Legs and All was my absolute favourite, with an Arab and a Jew who open restaurant near the United Nations, new/old Gods in the Middle East, and an original take on the Dance of the Seven Veils.

#JitterbugPerfume is one of my favourite books. Farewell #TomRobbins 🕊️
“The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious….
The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip...”

I’m very sad to have just learned that Tom Robbins has died. A brilliant novelist that entranced his followers for a number of decades. Known for novels such as "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues”, “Jitterbug Perfume”, and numerous others, he will be missed. The many stories by Tom Robbins were a major literary influence on my life. Creative minds and inventive story-tellers are a rarity.
If you haven’t read one of the many Tom Robbins novels I highly recommend that you explore his collection.

#RIP #TomRobbins What a genius weirdo.. He made me believe in that fartbag #Pan.
And in the potential of the English language.

#TomRobbins, Whose Comic Novels Drew a Cult Following, Dies at 92
He blended pop philosophy and absurdist comedy in best-selling books like “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” and “Skinny Legs and All.”

Právě dočteno.
Tři američtí vojáci od letectva, kteří byli ve válce ve Vietnamu sestřeleni a následně americkou armádou považováni za nezvěstné se rozhodli nevrátit se domů a zůstat nezvěstní. Zůstat inkognito. Nakonec se usídlili v Laosu na kraji jedné horské vesničky a tam se věnovali vaření drog, duchovnímu životu a tak podobně.
Jednoho dne je ale jeden z nich chycen při pašování drog a vládu začne zajímat, kde jsou zbylí dva.
Trocha Laosu a Vietnamu, trocha Thajska a Ameriky, trocha japonské mytologie a spousta filozofování a humoru a... majonézy.
Prostě Tom Robbins. -

Další úžasná věc od Toma Robbinse, co se mi dostala do rukou. Opět je tu spousta filozofování a teologických úvah, opět skvělé a praštěné postavy i zápletka, opět trocha drog a sexu, opět kritika církve a konzumní společnosti a opět úžasně vtipně a hravě napsané.
Výborná oddechovka! -

Perfektně ujetá záležitost s perfektně ujetými postavami a zápletkou. Kniha, u které jsem se chvílemi smál tak moc, až na mě lidi v autobuse koukali, jako na dementa. Zároveň jsou tu ale pasáže a myšlenky, které vás donutí se zamyslet. Tom Robbins si šedesátá léta minulého století rozhodně užíval.@knihy #kniha #book #tomrobbins #Argo #aaa #anotherroadsideattraction

Wanting to get back into reading, so I charged up my #kindle #paperwhite and have been adding #books to it over the last few days.
Currently re-reading (for about the 5th or 6th time) Another Roadside Attraction by #TomRobbins. I’ve also downloaded most of the rest of his books and will be rereading those soon, too.
I’ve got Daisy Jones and the Six by #TaylorJenkinsReid, Lessons in Chemistry by #BonnieGarmus, and All the Light We Cannot See by #AnthonyDoerr.
My reading tastes are a bit all over the place, and I’m never sure what I may or may not like. But if you’ve any #recommendations for books you think are particularly good, I’m all ears!

The post-beats counterculture is a fascinating aspect of the rock n' roll generation.
#ThomasPynchon, #HunterSThompson, and #JimDodge are for me the prose masters who directly inherited the tradition by reading it. With #TomRobbins is an eccentric planet X, type phenomenon that is sometimes in orbit but has his own gravitational trajectory with the other writers, and sometimes not.
These writers are at once more jaded and hopeful. Rebellious and insightful. A stew of contradiction.

#introduction part three-reading. My favorite authors are #kurtvonnegutjr , #tomrobbins #terrypratchett #douglasadams , #isaacasimov #JohnKennedyToole, and #JDSalinger. I don't have as much time to read novels these days other than reading with my kids, so a lot of #yalit like #JKRowling (f-ck #transphobia ), #PhillipPullman, #CSLewis and #JRRTolkien . I also was into the #wheeloftime series. But these days at least %50 of what I read are articles posted on social media
