I like keeping goldfish

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.09.29

When we moved into this apartment, there was a large aquarium left by the previous tenant. I immediately took it up and got three goldfish. This is Stephen. He came to me via the office, where he'd been kept by the marketing team (and named for their boss).

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.
