About me: I just experienced, perhaps, the best musical entertainment of my life. Tonight. At the Ryman. Levon Helm. He played and sang his ever-loving ass off. And the band and guests were right there on the level, too. Perfect. -- July 18th, 2007
Who I'd like to meet: All of these people. This is truly beautiful. Hipsters make me want to vomit - but this, this is something else. It's fun as hell, it's clever without trying to smash anyone's face in and it reminds me of a time when 'great' meant something. It kind of gives me hope that America isn't totally futureless and incapable of innovation and beauty and vision. One take, one shot. Reading into it too much? Whatever. This is great. And we all work at the wrong fuckin' place.

You should read The Most Evil Men & Women in History (if you haven't already). It's equally sick & fascinating; you'd probably like it. Just saw your new pics & that kid of yours is adorable.
