Thats cool, thanks RF
I wasn't aware that this was still happening. I'm afraid that it might open the floodgates of King inspired musicals though.
"Ya Don't Wanna Go Down Theyah"
This is my cat
My cat is dead
A big truck rolled over it's head
But that old guy
The one from Maine
Took me to the woods to explain
Bureh ya dotter's caet
Ennat theyah sacred groun'
Save ya'self th' trubble
a'replacin' it atthe poun'
I was so drunk
I did as he said
And now my cat it is not dead
But he was wrong
And now I'm afraid
Of this here zombie cat that I have made
I was misled
It is not fair
He should've said "Ya don't wanna go down theyah!"
Ya don't wanna go down theyah!

That's pretty good Jimmy.
Thanks.

Once again, thanks.
Check out Lilja's for the an interesting King interview.
Brief excerpt:
Welcome to the first part of a three part interview I did over the phone with Stephen King last week. Once again he was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk to me and for that I’m very grateful.
This time we talked for about 30 minutes and covered things like the new book he is working on, the upcoming collection Just Past Sunset and a script he has written for The Gingerbread Girl.
We also talked about Duma Key, The Dark Tower comic, his collaboration with John Mellencamp, The Mist and The Talisman 3.
This part will be followed by two more and I really hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did doing them. It was pure pleasure talking to Stephen King.
Enjoy! / Lilja
Hey, I just got the email too! Thanks for posting the link, Jerome.

Thanks for the link.
It's a good interview - looking froward to the rest of it.
The 'really long book...' is music to my ears!
The rest of the interview is very cool, too -- stay posted for the next two installments.
Just this first installment was much more interesting and in depth than the GMA interview. I can't wait for the next two.
I totally agree, its like talking to a friend instead of Matt Lauer.
I get the feeling he is really comfortable around Lilja, makes for a great interview.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
A very long book akin to The Stand or It is very welcome, but Duma Key wasn't a chapbook either. So I'm very glad for Stephen and his prolific output year after year, with no signs of slowing down. We now have two books in 2008, and perhaps this Stand/It book will come out in 2009, and, knowing King, perhaps another little surprise in between. Has there ever been a year with no book by Stephen King since 1974? Let's see... Only three: 1976, 1988, 2000. If you count non-fiction, then 1988 and 2000 are out. What did King do in 1976, take a sabbatical?
I think 1976 had to do with the fact King was just emerging on the publishing world. 'Salem's Lot was released in very late 1975, and The Shining was released in very early 1976. There actually was a greater gap in publication between Carrie and 'Salem's Lot (~81 weeks) than between 'Salem's Lot and The Shining (~64 weeks).
The Limited edition of My Pretty Pony was published in 1988, and On Writing was published in 2000.
King did go on a much-advertised hiatus in 1988/89. He had just published four books in a very short period of time and then hung out the "gone fishing" sign for a while to recharge his batteries.
In retrospect, the timing corresponds to the family intervention.
For 1988 I was counting Nightmares in the Sky, actually.
Thank for that Jerome!!
A new, long book
Part two is online.
The Stand in comic form!
It just got better and better, what a wonderful interview.
