Touching. Just...absolutely touching. In a couple hundred words you've said quite the mouthful. You're a great writer and I really hope one day the public get's to experience that.

That's amazing. Really amazing. I'm also amazed at how FP didn't alert me you'd written more stuff. Stupid FP.

thank you for this

I do have an account- I just can't log in. I just wanted to say that this is incredible (and incredibly true). I've actually listened to almost every musician mentioned here for the exact same reasons (except maybe Bob Dylan and I now need to figure out who Jimmy Soul is; ever try classical or maybe The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" for the quiet/reflective/thinking moments?). The ending of course is the most important statement and I find it an almost mind-blowing thought. Ok, that's all I wanted to say- truthfully, I was just kind of surprised to see all these bad names that I was just listening to, so yeah... great job and goodbye!
