I Miss Sufjan
I miss Sufjan Stevens something fierce. His songs reach a place deep inside me, the place where it still hurts no matter what I do, no matter how much time has passed. You know the place, it's where the demons live.

Well how old is the guy? He's got another 48 states to cover, hasn't he,
so he better get his finger out.
he's about your age, i suppose, so he's not quite a geezer! i was searching
for up-to-date info on what he's working on, but aside from some music
about the brooklyn-queens expressway, i don't see anything new. he was in
japan and australia in january but there aren't any new show dates, either.
hopefully he's holed up in his apartment in brooklyn writing his next
masterpiece.
Yeah, I miss him, too. I WANT NEW SUFJAN! Think he'll see that?
oh nat! actually i feel really bad for old ted. he's the end of an era, you
know? one of the last old school liberal politicians who could really get
things done. but i do feel for you and the news coverage. best to just turn
it off!
I feel badly for Ted, too, and he really is the last of his kind. I do
turn off the news when they start in now, but it's every stinking day.
Like, Ted Kennedy's Tumor, Day 3. It's just sick. But I do wish him lots
of luck in his fight. I know, at least, that he can afford the best care
he can possibly get and that he's in one of the finest areas for
cancer-fighting in the entire world.
you know, working where i do, where the majority of our patients have
breast cancer, i've gained a very deep appreciation of what people who are
battling cancer go through. it's so hard on them. sometimes i don't know
how they keep their spirits up, although i guess if you didn't try to fight
it as hard as you could, you'd just buckle under and then it would be even
worse. oy. cancer, the great equalizer.
ooh.. damascus... one of my favorite sufjan bsides.. simple beauty that
puts yr mind into a haze of feeling.
i know what you mean. i'm not sure what the song is actually about but i
know how it makes me feel.
Yeah me too. Where has he gone? What happened to the 50 states albums? I
was looking forward to Florida!
at this point he could write a song about not wanting to write songs about
the 50 states anymore and i'd take it!
mjrc, you scared me for a second! At first I thought something had
happened to Sufjian. But now I am just worried about you and your demons.
Hope all is well...
