"Subterranean Homesick Blues," age 11. I had no idea you could sound like that, use words like that, be so damn ramshackle. I mean, I didn't know it was, like,
legal.
On second thought, Carlin's
Class Clown album, around the same age, was probably more life-changing.

Yes, a lot. Gonna put on "Snowblind" now. It's more brilliant than perhaps the writers even knew. 1.) It rocks real sexy. 2.) It's catchy. 3.) It's emotionally complex: The narrator's defiance and declaration of freedom is almost anthemic, but ultimately it is naive self-justification. The druggie do protest too much, and I'm always left with a feeling of sadness. I consider it an antidrug song, and as such, it kicks the shit out of "Needle and Damage." Cuz you can fuck to it.
