a fellow once gave me some good advice/insight. he was in a band from canada that had just totaled their van (because of some asshat - legit not this band's fault) so i would imagine that HE would be the guy freaking out. but we talked for awhile and he pulled my neuroses from me like a surgeon and then said "a lot of poeple complain about the cities they live in, but really, their lives are stuck in a rut. it usually has nothing to do with the cities they live in, but the patterns they've established for themselves."
goddamnit some kid in a canadian grind band with a wicked mullet just laid it out straight.
