One of my favorites, and not just for the obvious reason.

In response to "Suzanne"

Always loved this song and his amazing way of writing about life, love and beyond.

I heard him in the early '70s in Brooklyn the first time.

Going to listen to this later 😃❤️.
What a beautiful share for today.
Nothing like lighting up souls!

I knew this one as a poem before I heard the song, and even without the music, I always thought it was amazing. Religious or not.

In response to "Oct 29 Plot revision"

How long have you lived in Beijing and Los Angeles? Are there better choices? There are China Towns everywhere. I think of two I've visited: Toronto and Lima. Ancient books are portable; ancient knowledge even more so.

Regardless, can you make the setting detailed enough so that it feels authentic?

Just thoughts.

In response to "Oct 19 Plot complications"

Will China come to Wolf? Is the riddle worth solving? Is LA worth saving? Are the monsters the true heroes?

Just being contrary but turning things on their heads can be helpful.

In response to "Oct 18 Cultural setting"

The idea that old myths can be relived in modern times is so ... Chinese! Or Korean. Gumiho = nine-tailed fox. This kdrama is highly rated (8.4):

"My roommate is a fairy fox" isn't as well done, but... it made me watch BL genre drama:

You'll find the opening similar to what you describe in that history and reality meet. It's worth watching if you have the time. The music is a bit of an earworm, just so you know.

In response to "Who is Wolf Meyer, main character?"

That is a great pic! But I have a question about his weakness. Is he too "thrusting" or too "trusting"? I mean, there's a little bit of a difference.

Pick up

"Resurrection Jukebox"

[E]

Pick myself up (1978) by Peter Tosh (1944-1987)

"Pick Myself Up"

Sittin' in the morning sun
And watching all the birds passing by
Oh how sweet they sing
And oh how much I wish that I could fly

And I try
I said I try
I try
I really try try try

But I got to
Pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again (Chorus 2x)

Sittin' in the midday sun
And wondering where my meal's coming from
After working so hard
Not even piece of bread at the yard

And I said I try
Oh Lord I try
I try
I really try try try

Sittin' in the evening sun
And watching the same birdspassing by
Sittin' and wondering
And waiting for the time for me to fly

And I try
I said I try
Good Lord I try
I really try try try

So long and I just find
It was just a waste of time
So long and I just find
I been been wasting all my time

I've got to pick myself up...

Pick up

In the morning sun
watching all passing by
Oh, how sweet
Oh, I wish I could

I try
I said I try
Really

Pick up
Dust off
Start over (Chorus 2x)

In the midday sun
Wondering
Working so hard
at the yard

And I said
I try
Really

In the evening sun
Watching the same
passing by
Sittin' and wondering
and waiting

And I try
Really

So, I just find
It was a waste of time
All my time

I've got to pick up...
