there was a movie where dylans journal entries where put into a song. how was this allowed? would they have to seek permission from Dylan’s family? seems odd

You’re referring to the song ‘Sun’ by Sleeping at Last.   It was an internet rumor that was debunked by the artist in an interview as untrue.

Here is my original post which I deleted after confirming it to be a false rumor. Unfortunately, that post is still floating around after it’d been reblogged by others.

Ohmygod is it actually her speaking the audio? Sue is such a strong woman…wow! Are you ordering it

rebdomine:

Yep.  Just think, Dylan Klebold’s mom will be telling US her story with her own voice.  Powerful stuff.  I bet 16 years ago, she would never have imagined or believed it herself.  Tissues will be necessary with that audio book for damn sure. :-/

How do you know it would be her reading the audio book? They pay people to read audio books. I doubt she will be reading it. 

Guess you missed the previous post.^^   

Just thought it might be good to point as this wasn’t too clear to me earlier for some reason but it definitely looks as though she will be the “Reader” of her own audio book.    It’s pricey to buy the audio book $32.93  – however, you can get an Audible trial and listen to her read the book under that free trial. 🙂  

Can you all imagine how difficult it must’ve been for Sue to rehash all those memories, to read the book from cover to end in a fairly professional voice with so little as a trembling voice or a sniffle?  She must’ve broken down during certain segments that she wasn’t expecting to. Something would’ve just suddenly hit her hard out of the blue.  Then they’d have to retake that bit and have her excruciatingly read it yet again, one more time. Gah..  :-/

Had Dylan seen Reservoir Dogs?

Absolutely! I’d say many times as it was one of his top five favs. Especially if he’s buying a shirt themed after it.

Hmm.. I wonder how his mom felt about her boy rebelling by proudly sporting an irreverant shirt that said “Serial Killer” complete with guns and blood spatters on it while at home and at school (though he might’ve snuck that). Sue spent a fair amount of time trying to curtail the amount of violent video games he played as a kid and now she wasn’t about to win the argument any longer over him purchasing this inappropriate shirt and wearing it when he pleased.

Can you just picture her reasoning with him? “I don’t understand, Dyl, what sort of message you’re trying to convey to people wearing a shirt that says that, do you even know?”   *shrugs*     “..it’s just a shirt..”      followed by stomping boots up the stairs and a slam of his door with a secret smirk.*

who would have the cactus picture right now? Nate or Sue? in other words..what are the chances it’ll be in the book

Nate or the Klebolds or both, yeah. I’d mentioned that it’s be one of a few very good and relevant photos for Sue to choose for the book because it shows how carefree Dylan seemed clowning around for the camera while they looked for his dorm in Arizona just a month before the massacre. That said, Sue likely has hundreds of photos of Dylan she might decide to select for her book as personally relevant. She may even have chosen to be minimalistic with the amount of photos for her book (not to mention the fact that they may very well be black and white photos only). Worse case scenario there may not be any photos in her book. I say that because the cover of her book is of a photo that was already released to the public years ago and not a new, never before seen private family photo. 😦

I’m not from the us so don’t understand the whole senior/sophomore talk..did u mean Kevin/Byron weren’t at columbine at the same time as Eric/Dylan ?

Don’t worry, the question was phrased a bit oddly. So, to clarify yes, Eric and Dylan were at Columbine at the same time as their brothers but both boys only had one year together with their older brother. Eric was a freshman during Kevin’s senior year in 95-96. Byron only attended one year as a Senior at Columbine in 96-97 and Dylan was in his sophomore year.

In regards to your post about how Tom and sue feel about fan girls of Dylan – I read somewhere that Tom was asked this, and he gave a sad chuckle and acknowledged it, and didn’t seem mad at all. Tried to find it but couldn’t – have you heard this ?

Hmm, where did you get the idea that they were mad about it?   By the way, that was from the chapter in ‘Far from the Tree’ by Andrew Solomon.

“The Klebolds had letters from kids who idealized Dylan, and from girls who were in love with him. “He has his own groupies,” Tom said with an ironic half smile. They were heartened by unanticipated kindnesses.” [Source]

did dylan go to erics house or straight to the school on 420?

Dylan ping ponged all over the place that morning (not necessarily in this particular order but an approximation) – to Eric’s house, various gas stations, outside the Bowling Alley and Blackjack (with Eric), the school, Eric’s house yet again and back to the school one last time and in a major rush as he was beginning to run late for NBK.  Speeding so fast into the parking lot that he almost clipped the car of his old friend Chad Laughlin.   Nope, there was nothing ‘straight’ about any of their planned destinations that day. It was all wonky from the get-go.
