Holy. Moly. Now I've seen the finest movie of my life, it's all downhill from here. There's nothing I can say about this that would satisfactorily explain how incredibly impressed I am with this. And don't think that this is post-cinema upper - I'm writing this retroactively in mid March of 2004 with a post-date.

Strongly recommended.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little — a movie song here or a TV ad there.
