I'm going to see Bright Eyes tomorrow night, an accomplishment I don't think is a big deal now but probably will be when Conor Oberst dies in a couple years from an overdose. It's a shame, but probably true. He's very likely the best poet alive, and his ability to tie melody to words has played an enormous role in shaping my own music over the years. I'm rewriting my album to stay with the times. I'm going to take it one song at a time so I actually finish something. Wish me luck.. Life is good. Could be better, but it's good. I'll take that.
