Props To Nik Cohn

There is a scribbling on the scratch pad next to my Mac. I made it to myself Friday night, I think right after I got back from my bike run to the bar. (I got a smooch on the cheek from my gal! Best summer ever?)

The scribbling is titled "Props to Nik Cohn", and here are the reasons:

1) He wrote Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom, one of the first histories of rock 'n' roll.

2) He was the inspiration for "Pinball Wizard."

3) He was the writer on Rock Dreams, one of my two favorite rock books ever. There are days where I think: It's Psychotic Reactions and Rock Dreams and then there are all others.

4) He wrote an article which became the inspiration for a great movie, Saturday Night Fever, which spawned a great soundtrack.
