HEMINGWAY’S IPOD

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?    Ernest Hemingway http://8tracks.com/certain_songs/ernest-hemingway-s-ipod The above cite purports to know what should/would be on Hem’s ipod.  Hmm, being a skeptic, I have to ask, “How do they know?”  Still we can speculate. I see Hem listening to Sinatra.  I don’t know […]
