the boom has boomed

twenty-eight years and a million words

Sydney, 2001.02.16

I've got the feeling that something's in the wind. I get the strange impression that the tech boom has indeed, as someone recently told me, boomed. But things at home are different and I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to be renewed past the three month stint for which I was hired.

rand()m quote

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.
