on music

The following is taken from what I scribbled on the back of a flyer at a bar in New Brunswick:

Music is so awesome, even in the basement of a dive bar with four total people listening. All it takes is guitar, drums, and a dude with a foot-long beard singing/screaming lyrics he’s reading off of a folded piece of paper. No matter the crowd or the sound, these four guys are making this music right now, and it’s exactly what they are supposed to be doing right now and it’s beautiful. Sometimes it just ‘fits’ and it’s just what you need.
