Joel turned me on to Mouse's "You're the good things," which is spinning now. It's one of those titles that has extreme potential, but the song falls flat. It's a sheer disappointment to me, so I leave him to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I try to keep my mind from wondering where he gets the fat hoards of cash he seems to have. It's one of those things where you want to say, "Umm, what's the deal yo? Real people don't live like you, they have to work for a living," but you know it doesn't matter 'cuz he'll die young from all the drugs anyway.

Assuming pushers don't snort their own goods, I think his mom is funding his habits to make herself feel better for never having spent any time or love on him as a child.

Spinning now: Mason Jennings - "Livin' in the Moment" (Saw him at the Barrymore way back. I think Pete Yorn was also on the bill. That was an interesting evening.)
