Mark Evanier's News From ME is my favorite blog, and the model for whatever the hell it is I do here at Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do). News From ME is also the specific resource from which I habitually pilfer that "whatever the hell it is I do" line. I'm a recidivist.
A recent News From ME post found Mark speaking about my all-time favorite film, 1996's That Thing You Do! , and Mark followed that post with a few more words about the movie ("More On That Thing You Do!"). Mark's fresh appreciations of this wonderful movie prompted me to send him some information about its title song's author, the late Adam Schlesinger. Mark was nice enough to quote my remarks (and link to my Greatest Record Ever Made! celebration of Schlesinger's snappy little song) in one more News From ME That Thing You Do! post.
While some may question Mark's description of me as "a gentleman," and perhaps some will quibble about his determination that I "seem to be rather well-versed" about pop music, I'm very, very grateful for the mention. Thanks, Mark! And please, do keep on doing that thing you do.
