I mean&#8230;as a minor failed poet, I know a little something about putting my work out in front of folks and nothing makes you feel more empty and tired than having someone yawn at you. What? This old world again, with [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Only boring people get bored. I wish I&#8217;d known that as a kid. It seemed like I was always bored, then. It wasn&#8217;t until I more or less stopped watching television late in my teenage years that I stopped being boring. (OK, I did spend some delirious late, late night hours watching old horror movies [&#8230;]]]></description>

Actually, judging from the quality of many of those songs, I couldn&#8217;t keep up lyric-wise, either, but we&#8217;ll let that go. For now.

A groundsman closes the tall door of the stable behind as you look over your shoulder through the sloping rear window.

Now, I don&#8217;t know what it all means&#8230; and I don&#8217;t think anyone can tell us or that we&#8217;d even understand if they did. But meaningless? No. That said, I [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This recording of this song aspires to what I believe the music press likes to call &#8220;amiable sloppiness.&#8221; I thought it was important to deflate any unreasonable expectations of slickness &#8212; or even competence &#8212; early on. A Star Is Bored was a frequent part of my sets back when I was doing the acoustic [&#8230;]]]></description>
