Follow me! THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE Needs YOU!!

My book The Greatest Record Ever Made! could use your help. And it won't cost you a dime.

As I work on a book proposal in hope of hoodwinking a publisher into giving me money and getting this thing into print, I need to start trying to raise my profile a bit. I am, God help me, probably going to join Twitter. I'm making myself available to any media outlet who wants to interview me about this book or my other projects, past and present. And I'm actively seeking followers for this blog, Boppin' (LIke The Hip Folks Do).

If you dig this daily outlet for my thoughts on pop music and pop culture, please consider signing up to follow the blog. This is FREE, and you can follow by email via the instructions in the upper right corner of the page. I'm more about the content than the numbers, but it's imperative that I show some numbers. Preferably numbers of the higher persuasion. Help me if you can, as some lads once sang.

Speaking of those fab lads: once a month, Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) offers a private post only for its paid patrons. You can become a patron of this blog for just $2 a month. July's private post for patrons will be a previously-unpublished chapter from my book The Greatest Record Ever Made!, discussing "Yesterday" by The Beatles. It's going to be quite some time before this piece is made available to the public, but patrons will get to see it on Monday.

Followers and patrons. Any way you get here, I'm happy to have you. A Bop a day awaits you.
