Fed up with all this

Fed up with all this. As I've said before, Im not as bad as Theodor Adorno, but now I say, don't push me.

But hey,politically effective, which is wonderful. So a thank you is in place

I repeat the quotation:

"And I have to say that when somebody sets himself up, and for what reason......I find , in fact this song unbearable, in that by taking the horrendous and making it somehow consumable, it ends up wringing something like consumption qualities out of it "

I was in Seattle at Shoosh's annual music fest when I heard Eric play this song. It was beautiful and very touching. Thank you for feeling and expressing our pain.
