Got Spotify? Listen to this.
Taking a page from Alex George,I created a Spotify playlist for DIRTY MINDS.
Think about it--we may not know exactly what love is, but that doesn't stop us from paying homage to including even its zanier characteristics in song lyrics. That includes the craziness we feel when we first fall in love, the satisfaction of good sex, the desire to come together in union and, of course, the heartbreak involved when love ends.
Included in this list are a few of the songs that I give nods to within the pages of DIRTY MINDS--as well as a few that I wore out playing during both my divorce and the writing of this book. Enjoy!
(And hey, if you think I forgot a song, feel free to let me know. I am always considering new additions).
