Fuck.


I was JUST writing about how I can’t seem to write anything of value and then I have to listen to this guy. 

Songs? Sure.

Plays? Why not?

Movies? Anyone heard of Cut, starring Mollie Ringwald? No? Doesn’t matter. Dave’s never heard of you, either.

Oh…and books, too. 13 mixing fiction and non.


So…


Fuck.

He has three. 


Fuck!


He positions himself on that cover like he’s Nick Lowe from Down Under and this is his Jesus of Cool and, why not?


Dave’s got a wicked sense of humor and he exudes joy. Give him his own tv show.


“North of the Equator” is exactly the kind of song I’d have played over and over to learn the lyrics. 



There isn’t a bad cut on this thing. I could have highlighted pretty much the whole thing and now I’m a Dave Warner fan.
