bullet points
Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me (Harmony) by Pattie Boyd. This rock and roll memoir should do well. Boyd knows the dirt on two of the biggest music stars of the 60’s and 70’s, Eric Clapton and the late George Harrison. She married Harrison then left him to marry Clapton. (Currently #4 in sales at Amazon.com).
Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light—the Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta (Doubleday). Quite a different audience for this one. While the guitar god Eric Clapton once inspired London street graffiti that proclaimed that CLAPTON IS GOD, Mother Teresa is that rarity, a modern day saint. (Currently #3 in sales at Amazon.com).
During my days as a radio station music director I often heard the term: “entering the chart with a bullet.” When a record album was entering the sales chart with rapidity, it earned that distinction.
That’s where I got the title for this blog entry. Mother Teresa and Pattie Boyd have gotten some powerful bullet points in the sales chart over at Amazon.

Chris Hitchens was a guest on my radio program a few years ago. I agree. He is an odd sort. He takes wildly disparate stands on issues. I tend to agree with some of his opinions. I wildly disagree with others. I understand that he enjoys a martini, or three.By Barbara Delaney

If I were to buy either book it would not be from Amazon, it would be from Powell’s Books. I wonder if this book in Mother Teresa’s own words will spur another attack on her by Christopher Hitchens? Remember twelve years ago when he published his book attacking her as a publicity-seeking, proselyting, tainted money-taking fake? Christopher Hitchens admires Bush and thinks the Iraq war was and is a good idea but thinks Mother Teresa was “a fanatic fundementalist fraud”. What an odd man.
