Chapter By Chapter: The Black Stallion’s Ghost ch.1

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic.

Mike Floorwalker from Cracked found these and four other songs by performers you wouldn’t have tied to that song. And Neil Diamond once wrote for the Monkees. I think I posted this before but it was in my list and I’m starting to lose track of these after doing so many.
