| | A professor told our class this week:
"Thoughts are tools. Don't think thoughts that don't work. I don't care if you probably should hate yourself; the thought just doesn't work. Personally, I've never met a person who didn't like me once they got to know me. See?"
Thoughts are tools, then. I think music is a tool as well. Certain records perform certain functions in my life. Take Nick Drake's "Pink Moon," for example. I used this record for years to combat insomnia. It didn't matter how twitterpated or antsy I was, this record would put me to sleep better than a warm milk and Nyquil cocktail. Alas, good things can't last as long as I would like them to. Last night, years after his untimely death, Mr. Drake failed me for the first time. I couldn't sleep and not even all of the droning, meandering folk in the world could coax Mr. Sandman out of his hideout.
I am now fielding suggestions for a new "insomnia-cure" record. Any suggestions?
