Molli Fire Becomes Local SF Reggae Star For 15 Minutes

Posted about 1 year ago
I received my first press recognition today! This time, as the Star instead of as the Reporter. My quotes aren't 100% accurate, unfortunately. But the ideas are true to my statements, so I'm thrilled. The article is about the "Reggae Scrapbook" and our first book-signing featuring Roger Steffens, Peter Simon and myself. The article is lovely and you can check it out if you like:Reggae Scrapbook in SF ChronicleI do wish she had printed what I consider to be the *best bit*: Whenever I'm asked how I came to be involved in the "Reggae Scrapbook," I always reply, truthfully:"I was discovered on MOG. Kate Steffens noticed my passion for reggae music, that I write about it often and listen to tons of reggae and dancehall. So she recommended me to Roger and Peter when they needed help to finish the book."Well, something to that effect anyway. Kate, for those of you who have been on MOG for awhile now, is our own dear Kate! (Kate used to work for MOG and was a lovely member of the fam. She moved to L.A. and is probably too busy being glamorous to MOG much these days.) I can't change the article, but I wanted to interject that part for y'all. And I've tagged this with "Lively Up Yourself" in hopes that you can listen to it. Lively up y'all selves MOG!Keep Moggin Fam!:)

  13. Ohm51 says To borrow from another genre. Good Golly, Ms Molly!!! (and yes I know its spelled wrong) Congrats Babe. And I would venture to say, that this is a quite a bit more than merely 15 minutes of local fame ... As a published author, your words on this matter will live on ... and might influence generations of music fans hence. That is a major accomplishment, one that you might properly be well proud of. This is also personally inspirational ... because I think there are quite a few of us that could do with a little discovery and recognition of our expertise and interests, even if only in finding sympathetic souls to play with. So, Well Done, Ms Molli. MOG On!!!
