Soprano's sex fantasy - LIVE

I blog now during the 4-minute commercial break on the David Lawrence Radio show. (www.onlinetonight.com) It's an hour-long show. We've just finished the first 15 min segment. It began with a discussion of Hooked, took a turn into television culture and wound up with Mr. Lawrence's theory that Tony Soprano is so sympathetic because he has the best sex fantasies of any TV character. This is way more interesting than my book. I feel filthy.
back at 30 past the hour...

And WE'RE BACK.

David Lawrence, culture guru and radio madman, has read the first page-and-a-half of Hooked in a rich, bass radio voice, and then lavished praise on its author as a brilliant writer. Or maybe he said great writer, or just writer. Maybe he called me an accountant. It all happened so fast. Hard to remember under the glare of the lights of the Los Angeles-based radio program. Glib mass media attention has confused our author (sufficiently that he now writes in the third person). Wife soon to be highly annoyed at his burgeoning ego.

And at 45 past, he'll be back...

And I'M BACK

And back to the first person, which is what I deserve after dipping dangerously into some faux substantive analysis of technology addiction. I started talking about compulsive technology use and how it impacts us on a daily basis. C'MON MATT, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN POP CULTURE RADIO (brief second person divergence). Segment saved at the end when host David returns to a fairly graphic discussion of Tony's sex fantasies. Actually uses the word "ejaculation." Doubtless the best promo thus far for Hooked. Will sell lots of copies. But can no longer look my grandmother in the eye.

Back at the end of the hour

And WE'RE BACK
little sweaty, drained, lifted up, twirled around in a high-flying hour of bells, whistles, sound effects and big fancy radio fun. Then dropped down again with a "thanks for being on the show. it went great. Click." I can say only this: I hope next week's gig on ABC News involves sex and the Sopranos. I'm finally prepared.
