He&#8217;s one of my favorite current singer\/songwriters.

I have been nonstop busy since I returned from LA (first a road trip to Williamstown to see Sam Rockwell as Stanley Kowalski in <i>Streetcar<\/i> &#8211;  and then getting ready to go away again next week), and for some reason this song has been what I am drawn to. I keep listening to it.  I can&#8217;t stop. <\/p>\n<p>Michael asked me, &#8220;So what&#8217;s your play about?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Oh, my usual themes. Poignant love, hot sex, and an eventual renunciation of happiness.&#8221; He will now reply with, &#8220;So is it about me?&#8221; in T-minus 9 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>You know.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=8656\">The usual<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lived all over the place.

Thoughts, plans, dreams, memories, all that.  Lots to process from the last week.  I&#8217;m just now coming down.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love this guy.
