Von vs JD Salinger

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

"There is a marvelous peace in not publishing.… I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure"

(JD Salinger in a rare interview in 1953, not publishing after Catcher In The Rye, now hiding in New Hampshire for decades).

Replace 'write' for 'making music'. Could be Von.

(Hmm, that is, if the now-and-then festival means pleasure to him)

although I think Von doesn't write music for his pleasure... as a matter of fact, I guess he doesn't write at all these days ... and if he does, it's for the money...

I hear what you are saying, but JD has been writing the whole time. Von has not. At all. Big difference.
But I would love if you were right, that would justifie a lot in my world. But just sitting on your ass in Amsterdam and play computergames does not count.

Trent Reznor got free from his record contract, what did he do, he released 4 albums in 3 years. what did Von do? Erm, wrote one more verse, maybe.

OUCH, remember what will happen if you compare Sisters with Kiss... Soon available: Kids of Mercy!

Brilliant! Maybe they can write some new songs and release a album.
