Worked on the new Silver Seas music a bit. I don’t know. Sometimes I can’t tell if something’s any good. Like David Bowie in that movie where he plays Andy Warhol and they’re looking at a painting. Sometimes taking things away is a good thing. Other times, it gets boring. To International Market for some soup and read the cover article on Justin Earle in the Nashville Scene. All about his drug past and he seems like a cool guy. I just wonder about talking about that stuff. I mean, the main thing about the article was sort of saying how much drugs he took and where and with whom, etc. It was a bit of sensationalism, only in the sense that very little analysis was devoted to the music itself. Welcome to show business! I’ve taken drugs, and though I wouldn’t recommend them, I also wouldn’t use them as a “story” about a record, because ultimately, I think kids think it’s sort of cool that you went to the dark side, and came back alive.

Evening to Ombi and drank Rose and took one drag from a cigarette and felt light-headed and Tommy Keenum and Liz came and we had fun talking. Home at 11 and hit the s.
