I'm listening to a tribute album to Townes van Zandt on the earbuds that are intended for my iPod Shuffle...but I've dragged them into play to listen to music on my notebook.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm attached to music the way some people are attached to poetry. They're the same, in my view, but well-conceived music marries beautiful sounds with beautifully constructed ideas.
At this very moment, I am listening to Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson performing A Thousand Kisses Deep. It's mezmerizing.
Oh, back to Townes van Zandt: he was an amazingly skilled songwriter. I've enjoyed much of his music for years without knowing he wrote it.
Oh, this odd mix of music that I'm hearing is wild. Just now another piece started: Smooth, on Santana's album entitled Supernatural. "I could change my life to better suit your mood." That slaps me in the face when I hear it.
A new topic.
Today, I was in no mood to work. I have lots of work to do. But I was, and am not, in any mood to work. This is bad. Clients expect me to work on their behalf 24/7. Bad deal. I'd rather just listen to "if you wanna run cool, you got to run on heavy, heavy fuel."
OK. Stop this mindless crap. Let someone else contribute a comment to this blog!
