"Tim Lisagor wonders why the Dave Mathews Band will not go away. It is bad enough they tried to ruin college with that damn Ants Marching song, wait...ants, marching...we're the ants! People are the ants marching to work, to the grocery store, to get tetanus shots. I get it now...great tune, just splendid!"

summer 2000

i remember the summer we never left your apartment. we ate bag after bag of licorice whips and kissed all night, fogging each other up with our sweet, red breath. you showed me surfing movies- balancing your frame in the glow of the t.v. set-you said you once met kelly slater. you gave me a hundred nicknames; you tucked strands of hair behind my ear; you let me read all of your report cards. you had potential. now you live in phoenix with that receptionist and her three cats.

what the fuck, d?

first aid kit: you're not coming home tonight
