FIVE THINGS with CLEA SIMON
My new Hold Me Down doesn’t come with a playlist (not yet). But enough folks have asked me what I was listening to while writing this rock-and-roll suspense that I realized I needed to think about the songs that inspired its tough protagonist, Gal Raver, a clubland survivor with a history beyond the hits. So, yeah, these songs are in regular rotation on my playlist. More to the point, they’d be on Gal’s, too.
