  • Silver Jews stopped by the basement to play songs from their LP, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea. David Berman was quick to open up about issues close to his heart: staying kosher, Jerry Cantrell, rebuilding society through scrapbooking, and um... Rednecks.

    You did your best, David, but you had expectations for yourself that no one could live up to. I did not know of you in life but wish I did. May your wounded soul be finally at peace.

    • @PuddingAtheist
      @PuddingAtheist 5 років тому +5

      @Matt You're right. If I was an artist insecure about how my audience viewed me, I would actually beg to be pigeonholed. "I guess I'm like a 'math teacher'. wonderful. thanks a lot." A poet cartoonist who liked reading Edith Wharton in Central Park and doing heroin to Dolly Parton doesn't exactly read 'math teacher', to me--iDon't know about you.

    • @PuddingAtheist
      @PuddingAtheist 5 років тому +5
