Schmucks

Am smoking thru NIN so no time to blog right now (I met the mayor of Mercer yesterday, nice guy) but here are some interesting reads (I'm sitting in a coffee shop and two high school boys are singing "Little Runaway" while chomping on chips, I am in absolute Bon Jovi overload these days):

Schmucks of CBGB

Unquiet Gabe on Greil's new book

Trevor Dann on Nick Drake (and Linda Thompson). A few summers ago I saw Tommy T. perform a Nick Drake tribute and he said, "if things had gone differently, Nick would have married my mom and I wouldn't be here." But it just doesn't seem that way, does it?

I'm excited for the NIN book, so rock on.

And I check your blog often, by the way.
