I can say this because I kind of, sort of, maybe, in a way, run things here; this past week of 100 Word Song was the most creative one ever. All of you dug deep inside your dark, hard crusted souls and delivered some brilliant writing. The best part of the week were the new regulars, like According To Mags, Badrinath, and today’s hightlighted 100 Word Singer, Michele from Old Dog New Tits. Yes, she has tits in her name and that means I can’t read her stuff from work, despite the fact that the Tits refer to a dog and thus makes her blog educational. At least that’s her story. Here’s her piece from last week http://olddognewtits.com/2012/04/20/accidentally-nostalgic-for-100-word-song/ . Michele and I talk on the twitter about music so I figured she could deliver something versatile and fun to write about. She did. This week’s choice is Waiting On A Friend from The Rolling Stones. Leeroy the robot is expecting greatness from each of you.
Here’s my 100.
Last time with Soul To Body: http://lancemyblogcanbeatupyourblog.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/never-let-you-go/
He traded texts with Mallory during his business meeting. Paranoia became his companion as he swiveled his head to see who was watching him during a three-block walk.
As he opened the door to Smyth’s Olde Pub, the smells recalled when he’d played guitar there in a southern rock band called Boxer Ego, before he met his late wife. He figured it’d be a place he wouldn’t feel her presence.
A tall, thin, well-tattooed young man greeted him.
“Hey there. So are you by yourself?”
He looked away and stuttered his reply.
“I’m uh, just, um, waiting on a friend.”

This week’s song to play with belongs to The Stones. Thanks Michele. Here’s Waiting on a Friend.
Dammit Lance! A cliff hanger? Ahhhh! You already had me and now you’ve left me hanging.
First–I love the song. Secondly I love the feel of this, like he’s gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
more than the cookie jar. Michele gave us a great tune.
OoHhHhHhhhhh … and… annnnnd?
I want to know who this tattooed man is, and why he makes Violet’s dad nervous.

I will always read this story, but I may not be happy IF it ends
thank you very much, k

awesome…i keep forgetting that…old man memory
I like how the smells of the place bring up a memory. I’ve heard smell is one of the strongest associations with memory. Very nice!
yes, I associate smells with memroies a lto. I think its underrated
how do you know she’s not there? thanks
Nicely played! Was the 100 Word made for the song, or was the song made for the 100 Word?
as Hannibal said on The A Team, I love it when a plan comes together.
Interesting, I will give it a couple of listens and see what I get out of it. Thanks for running this!

Okay – mine’s up. Totally took a left turn from what I originally wrote. Thanks for the fun.
hmmmm – comment disappearance?
Got my piece done and submitted – totally took a left turn from the first one I wrote. Hmmmm right brain taking over the left brain? (or vice versa)
thanks for the fun, Lance!
My words flowed much easier on this song. I really liked your 100 words and how they linked to Trifecta. Such a sad story. The last line in this was perfect.
thanks Mel, this really worked out easier than I thought
Oooo, I am most definitely intrigued!
then play with us! and thanks
A fun one for me … as I not only know the song but also love it. Sentimental.
Great use of the prompt. It makes me all twitchy at how you’re having him distance himself from memories of his late wife.
Linked up. This is my first try at this. It was kinda fun.
kinda??????? I want it to be a blast! you did great. we’ll make it even more fun next week. thank you.
Got it in last minute – wanted to make sure I had the time to sit, watch, think, write.
Thanks for doing this- inspiration came quickly, though I had never heard the song before.
HUh? Are you 12? you had never heard this song? bless your heart.
thanks for writing. Leeroy and I are happy to have you.
