"I don't know how they expect people with ADD to read English literature."

I thought I worked a double today (leave at 10am, return at 1:30am or so), but it turns out I'm only on for dinner, so I get free time!  O, happy day!

Therefore, it's time for another installment of  "Aaron Learns How To Sing Better".  This time, Wilco's "Jesus, etc.", a lovely ditty that has been stuck in my head for years and which I decided it was time to nail it down.



I attended the Ashland Shakespeare Festival in Oregon my junior year of high school, and while most of my energies were not focused on the stage, one moment stands out clearly.  We were in a Shakespearean Music workshop, and the question of free online music sharing came up.  The woman in charge said, "The best way to enjoy free music is to make it yourself."  I thought that was just the coolest answer, as it touched on the deeper idea of manifesting one's own reality.  Want free music?  Learn to play an instrument.  Want to be in better shape?  do some push-ups.  Want world peace?  Challenge and expel hatred in every place it's discovered, within and without.
