"Not Dark Yet" made me cry back in '98 for how much it sounded like Dylan's farewell song. Like death was creeping in on the man. I could barely stand it.
Then he goes and spits out another handful of albums and shows no sign of stopping. I feel like a punce. Mostly because it still makes me cry.
God help me if Tom Waits ever gets that goddamn depressing (again); I'd be crying like a goddamn baby all day every day. Kinda glad Lou Reed went out without such a damned depressing death ballad. It would have been the end of me.
