When music and literature collide

What do song writers do when they have writer's block? Read a book! Artists for Literacy is a big promoter of this fusion. Check out the YouTube link on their page for a video of "Songs Inspired by Literature."

For those of you who are unfamiliar with wizard rock, such as Harry and the Potters, a rival has arisen...Twi-rock, based on the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Check out "
Harry Potter Vs. Twilight: Battle of the Bands About Books" for more info on the rivalry.

For more wizard rock, take a look at the
Wizrocklopedia.

For the children literature fans out there, I leave you with a video created by Cambridge Public Library.
