Some great news today: the medication I take for my migraines has been discontinued. Not at all sure what I'll do. There are newer drugs on the market, but a) they don't work and b) they have nasty side effects.

On the other hand, the cafergot wasn't much of a treat itself. I guess I'll make do.

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.
