I've spent the whole day with it stuck in my head, as one does when one has a remarkably vivid dream. All the energy, emotions and excitement are there; I remember the pure anticipation of life, the complete happiness of unconditional friendship, and the joy of discovering new things that comes from being young and in college. I found a cassette ( Read more... )

Wow. This discovery is really amazing. I keep forgetting that you used to do a radio program...coolest of the cool. I love what you have to say about always being your same person. Very poetic!

I can relate. Directly--I didn't have a radio show, but a couple of friends from my first year in college, 1991, did. Our station was your sound alternative though. I am still trying to figure out whether it was GWAR who covered "I Write the Songs" or someone else who sounded a lot like GWAR the same night I was examining a GWAR album for the first time. But moreso indirectly. Our daughter turned 5 today. I'll be 35 in a couple days. And yet I still remember with chilling clarity wandering around Nowhereville, Ohio one night sixteen years ago with two friends smoking clove cigarettes.

It's gotta be nice to actually hear an affirmation that you've always been you - it's something I've always wondered about during retro/introspection - If I break out an old pair of shoes, they don't feel right, but they're still definitely my shoes. Cellularly speaking, we're constantly recreating ourselves, so the idea of a perpetual self is especially chewy.
All that aside, you gonna make with the mp3 or what?

In a way, I think people do this collectively too - they assume we've come so far since , and that we wouldn't dp the same thing in since we're so much smarter now. T'aint true I fear... and it's dangerous thinking to assume we're any different than man was even thousands of years ago... ah well.
