who's yer favorite comedian? lenny bruce? richard pryor? bill hicks? yep, they're all great. know why? cuz they were all so goddamn sad.dave berman is like that. ha! ha! ha!'where's the paper bag that holds the liquor/in case i feel the need to puke'. good one!'if we'd known what it took to get here/would we have chosen to, would we have chosen to'. aw....sometimes a pony gets depressed. mental illness on the animal farm. farmers as bosses, as parents, as animals disguised as people...as...as...as...you? me? 'happiness won't leave me alone says a bird in a nest'? i think that's what he said. fucking happiness. it's the worst junk. kicking it is tough. i'd rather kick the sauce again.and religion can help. so says dave. i don't really believe him, but i kinda like the idea. don't you?GOD is up there, and he will take care of it, arrange it all into some kind of order. make sense of it. like you had the jigsaw pieces, but one was missing, or the paper peeled off the edge and you could never complete it. or death is the last piece. and you find it under the couch at the very...last...minute...'andre was a young black santa claus/he didn't want to be like his daddy was'. that's so funny it hurts. huuuuuuurrrrrtttttssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.......'god must be bending the clouds into animal shapes'. GOD again. how come when berman and morrison sing about him it sorta makes sense. maybe they're closer then i am. definitely. but they're no less crazy, right? right?'christmas on a submarine'? is that about alienation? i wrote a song about that once. it wasn't so eloquent. dave's lost a woman it seems. maybe. or maybe something much worse.there's something about trying to better yerself, but still, really, not caring, that is so exciting. it makes music VITAL! what about yer life is vital. me? not much right now. but i'm trying.'sleeping is the only love' starts like 'breakdown'. and it's just as good. better. (sorry, erin) 'i had a friend his name was marc with a 'c''. why is that so good? am i wrong? is that not the deepest thing? and yea, life is sweeter than jewish wine. sleeping is the only love...sleeping is the only love...'there is a place'. i like when a band knows how to end an album. the 'mats did it on 'tim'. townes did it on 'delta momma blues'. hell, the stones did it on 'beggars banquet'. you just need to end it RIGHT!!! like a marriage. end it on a poignant note.'i saw gods' shadow on the world/i saw gods' shadow on this world/i could not love the world entire/i took a hammer to it all/like an insane medieval king..../'fuck. could you say it better? then write yer own song.
