People say friends don't destroy one another. What do they know about friends?

I grew up in Southern California, so the whole concept of a local music history is still kinda novel to me.

Men tend to dominate whatever public discourse they participate in, and another big part of feminism is to let women have their say. Men's voices can be welcome at the table, but there is a time and a place, and maybe it's now, for men to make a little less noise, make their needs less known, and listen to the needs of others.

The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.

I'm not really a goal-oriented guy. I started doing the Mountain Goats just for the sheer hell of it.

I think I read too much Arthur Conan Doyle when I was young, and got this idea that a gentleman should know a lot about one thing and plenty about most everything else.

I always worry that I'm a dilettante: I know something about lots of things but don't have exhaustive knowledge of much.
