Loading ...Reunions With Drink and Drug

Geez, first My Bloody Valentine and now Polvo. Who is next to reunite? Tar!? Unwound?! Oh gosh, the possibilities are endless. And by that I mean there is only one possibility: I will be disappointed when the old hacks try to recapture the spirit of their youth and come off sounding terrible and trite.
Hey, did you know that one-out-of-three popular songs refer to substance abuse? This is not surprising to me at all. In fact, all you have to do is take a gander at my record collection or listen to some of my songs and you’ll understand! Apparently the genre known as “country” is the worst of all, with 37 percent of bestselling songs featuring references to drugs or alcohol. Rock music came in at a paltry 14 percent. A quick gander at my hard drive (where I keep all my magical songs in text file format) shows that of the 51 songs I have written to completion, 21 make overt references to drugs or alcohol. Yeesh. What the hell is wrong with me. [story]
There is no Top Ten list this week because I have been maddeningly sending out the personalized lists to everybody. There are only two more to write, and by the time I click the “send” button for the last time, I will officially have not a single funny thing left to say to anybody. I’ve been putting a lot of effort into these things. I hope you enjoy them.
Another memorable evening with Rob, Sari and I again out on the town. Free pizza dinner and bottles of strawberry champagne. Sari does her thing, gets dolled up and goes out looking absolutely beautiful, Rob and I feed her some advice at the bar, and she has no problem meeting a nice boy. Rob and I leave her to her own devices, head to the liquor store for some Makers, and proceed to alter our states and talk on the porch about philosophy and science until the wee hours of the morning.
