I've just noticed that my birthday is made of primes, taken at the two-digit level. The year is made of two two-digit primes, the month is a prime and the day is a prime.

Imagine that I'd discover this just *after* the only party I'll likely be invited to all year. Shucks, woulda had something to talk about.

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.
