Oxbow frontman / Decibel contributor/ Renaissance man Eugene S. Robinson wants you to read all about ass-kicking in his new book Fight. An early review of the book in The Boston Phoenix hailed Robinson as “Bouncer Lit’s Norman Mailer,” but made no mention of our intrepid reporter’s sexual prowess. We’re not worthy, but Robinson has taken pity on us anyway and has decided to send a personalized, autographed copy of Fight to one lucky Deciblog reader. Sound awesome? Ah, but you have to work for it!

To win a copy of Fight, you must:

1) Submit a 500 word essay about the most terrible thing that’s ever happened to you. For our amusement. Extra points for telling us how many people you’ve ever slept with [and, NO, oral sex does not count].

OR

2) You must write, perform and record a song extolling the virtues of Eugene Robinson in total. The song must include his name and no fewer than THREE acts of some high-minded significance that he’s been responsible for [stealing your woman…who you really didn’t want anyway, same with your car….and your wallet]. Email an MP3 and yes, we’ll be the judges of how good it really is.

Please send your entires to decibelfight@yahoo.com by Thursday, 12/20/07. Now move it!
