I hate liberality - nine times out of ten it is cowardice, and the tenth time lack of principle.
If I am thinking the same as everyone why bother pushing to get it published?
And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.
