Five Other Things I Could Have Been Doing Instead of Making This Album:

  1. Finishing a novel as opposed to starting another one
  2. Taking the dog on a long walk
  3. Making Hey-Hey in the Hayloft of 1996
  4. Reading the script of some terrible movie I don't want to be in. Oh, I did that anyway.
  5. Getting into a "scene" (e.g., acid jazz, piercing, etc.)
