Welcome to "Mr Music's Literary Escapade" - a blog dedicated to revealing and discussing how musicians and bands have utilised literature as inspiration for their songs.
I am your guide, Mr Music, but I also go by the name of Peregrine the Parakeet - PP for short.
Want to impress your fusty Literature teacher by telling her/him that you know a song about "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"?
Want to wipe away the cobwebs from your Classics teacher's brain by bamboozling her/him with your revelatory knowledge about a song based on Homer's Iliad?
Perhaps you want your History teacher to break out into a song-and-dance routine after you sing the opening line to song about Henry VIII?
If so, this may be -the- blog for you!
Every week I'll be bringing you an exciting/surprising/I-didn't-know-that/This-is-old-news style post where I delve deep into the vault (well, YouTube) to reveal that "such-and-such" band wrote this song based upon "such-and-such" popular novel.
All's fair in Literature and Music - apart from copyright infringement - so look forward to broadening your Arts knowledge in the coming posts!
