Our son is really pretty amazing. We're going to a friend's cottage. I told him this morning that the lake was shallow and weedy, and he correctly guessed the type of fish that would be living there and from that the type of lures we'd be using.

But then again, when we went fishing with a friend's family last week, it was interesting to watch that eight year old helping one of the teenagers deal with a snag.

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.
