I don’t know where in a writer’s brain characters live, but when they tap on the door and say, “Time to play some Roy Orbison,” you play some Roy Orbison. As a reminder to stay focused on the story, you bring out a pair of black sunglasses. Then you write the fiction that’s right. And if you love your readers–as I do–you snap a few quick photos of Mr. Orbison to share the experience. And if you’re a little selfish–as I am–you get some of Bruce Springsteen, too, even though he shared the Black and White Night stage with many staggeringly talented musicians and vocalists.
YouTube–the concert is there.
