girls at bimbo's 365, 4.11.12. one of the best shows i went to this year and sadly the last time i saw them live. recently went to christopher's first performance of his new solo album and i was a little underwhelmed; i think it was the crowd that threw me off too. felt like a lot of music biz people and his friends.

I wanted to educate myself as fast as possible, and the fury of my desire was so tumultuous, I could not rest. I was drawn closer to Eileen Odell, and now, significantly enough, we were beginning to discuss some of the books she gave me to read.

About William Faulkner I asked: "Why is he so concerned with decay?"

Eileen said: "He writes about the South, where he lives. It is a dying world; it is decayed; so he wants us to know that it is futile to prop it up with a false foundation. The South was built on human slavery, but the slaves are stirring. They will be free and the South will collapse with its decadent institutions."
