BOC: Eric on WotT and other things (long)

[Andrew A. Apold]

>     (Don't Fear) The Reaper, Godzilla, and Burnin' Up are all here, along

Apparently BFY wasn't too memorable, eh?

>     album. Stephen King agreed, but the Director said no. So, Atlantic

Yeah, like who was calling the shots?

>     No current plans to do interactive CD-ROMS. Although there is a game
>     out now, RIPPER, with The Reaper used in the soundtrack.

Well, I guess we can stop searching the game for signs of some other
song.   If you want to get this game for BOC, don't bother.  Get the free
demo CD, it has both the prologue (which includes the entirety of the
game's BOC content) and the trailer, which has more of the song than
the game (on 6 CD's) does.

WELL....  we need to get this interviewer on BOC-L...

I can't fault him here....  sounds like the stuff his son listens to...

My opinion of him goes up somewhat.  'Hyperion' is on my short list as one
of the greatest s-f books of all time.  (on some 'net polling site I came across
that maintains weekly vote tracks of ratings of books, it placed like #5 or
#6....
Minor note to the other half-- Zelazny's "Lord of Light" (also on my list)
was #10...

Now... if only he could do a song about Hyperion, ("Worldweb", "The Shrike",
"The Ousters", "The Time Tombs", "The Dying Earth"... any of these could
be great song titles....), maybe we'd have somnething.

Good show.  Don't know whether I belive the contract stuff, but otherwise
I get a good feeling from this interview...
