My new book is out! In case you're blinded by the orange and the glitter, it bears the name Is Tiny Dancer Really Elton's Little John? And because I'm apparently incapable of putting out a book whose full title isn't at least a dozen words, it also has the subtitle Music's Most Enduring Mysteries, Myths, and Rumors Revealed.

Welcome to www.rulefortytwo.com, my website.
I'm Gavin Edwards, a writer living in New York City. You might know me from my work for magazines (Rolling Stone, Details, lots of other places), from my 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy and Other Misheard Lyrics series of books and page-a-day calendars, or because you loaned me five dollars in tenth grade and you're hoping to get it back.
This website was originally intended as an archive of some of my old writing. Lately, I've been using it as a venue for my photographic work: I suggest you check out the "flip walks" section below, which is the most frequently updated section here.
If you want to reach me, you can email me at gavin42ATgmailDOTcom. If you want to know where the rulefortytwo name comes from, click here. If you want to hear a song I wrote and recorded (with Butch Vig producing), click here.
I hope you enjoy your stay.

Or as you might call them, misheard lyrics.
The ones I've written, anyway.
