It’s around 1:30 PM in the 70s and the sun is out after a storm front went through without dropping any rain.
Hello, bloggers and writers and my Flash Fiction Fanatics. The Old Soldier is excited about the retro-rock music videos that will be a part of the Home page starting later this week. You won’t even have to leave the PFF Gazette to see and listen to Heart or Blondie or The Doors or even The Cult, all of them in live performances. The band will change every week.
You can’t beat it with a stick.
I’ll tell you something else you can’t beat with a stick. The new Poetry tab at the top of the page. As a graduate student in the writing program at the University of Pittsburgh from 2003 to 2006, the Old Soldier had to teach a course in poetry to undergraduates. Now poetry is not my thing. But poetry is about the use of distilled language just like the best flash fiction.
I kept up my study of poetry for no other reason than to become a better writer of flash fiction. Well, I’m ready to release my poems to the world. Check out the Poetry tab at the top of the page. New poems will be added constantly.
You didn’t forget about the New Links tab at the top of the page, did you? Today I added another new link. Check it out.

She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult
But let me tell you. This local music television station (THECOOLTV) has opened my eyes. You don’t even need cable to get it. A converter box will do just fine. It’s at 22.2.
So, all you writers and Flash Fiction Fanatics, I want to turn you on to a band that the Old Soldier has just discovered.
Yes, this blog is about blogging and sexuality and writing; but it represents the personality of the editor/publisher, too. That’s me. And rock and roll defines me as much as writing does.
I have recently discovered The Cult, a 1980s band. If you know the band, relive the excitement of their biggest hit.
Listen, just go to the front page, put in your ear plugs and rock out. The video is under the article The Retro-Music Shop Is Open. Give the video a moment to upload.
You can also find the Old Soldier here: Triond, too.
