sorry about this in advance, but i'm feeling a bit uptight today.
today?  ha ha!  Look; if you don't realise the genius and importance of
The Lovin' Spoonful then you are... lost.  I mean, Pop.  Aw fuck i give
up.  Listen to Summer In The City, or even better NAshville Cats and
best of all Do You Believe in Magic.  Read that again: DO YOU BELIEVE IN
MAGIC?

Do you?

I don't see how you can say you love Belle & Sebastian and then say that
a Lovin' Spoonful song sounds like 'cack'.. I just don't get it: they're
the same sensibility, they're about the magic of Pop and life and aw, if
you don't get it then i don't care anymore.  You can just be ignorant
for all i care.

Everett True said how he still cares about the whole deal of music and
experience and the magic of rock'n'roll but that most of the time it
hurts too much to care.  i know what he means but i think that the pain
of caring is easier to deal with than the pain of not caring... But that
said, i think it's hurting me too much right now.  Consumption has made
me sick.

ignorance has made me sick.

so long and don't look back...

keeping his faith tucked neatly in his pocket, the one next to his
heart.

the duke
