Facebook Works For Me
- 23 Oct 07, 09:38 AM
My first commission is on the newsstands this week. A guy called Andrew from magazine tracked me down through that famous social networking site and used their webmail facility to ask me would I like to write something for the magazine. I used the same channel to tell him yes, I¡¯d be happy to and then he delivered the editorial brief down the lines. So now you can read the results in their issue with the Springsteen cover.
My piece sits in a section called ¡®My Record Company Hell¡¯. You see, I was once a press officer for Warner Records in London and had the misfortune to work for the likes of Motley Crue, Robert Plant and Brigitte Nielsen. So I dredged up all of the unhappy memories and hurled them at the Word team. Perhaps wisely, they took out a few of the names and the dodgy storylines, but I think it¡¯s still an interesting read. On some other occasion, I promise I¡¯ll write about the SS uniforms, the appalling farewell message and the day that Madonna¡¯s sister took me to lunch.
