I love the photo that goes with this caption, in the Guardian: "The NEA makes a convincing case that young people are reading less, but it completely excludes reading done on computers."

"—He suffers from vertigo..."

(From Dzyd Ed)

I love everything about this song!

I love that I saw some of you in Chicago, and that I will see some of you tomorrow (Downtown at Happy Ending) and Thursday (Beantown)!
