And then heard that you'd played a Big Brave song for me, which was AWESOME! And even awesomer because the week before I'd played a Big Brave song and credited you for it in my playlist, totally oblivious of A Song for Foxes!!

Father's Day is all over the place, and while my parents were alive I could never remember when to call my dad. The weirdest one is Germany, where Vatertag is on Ascension Day and instead of it being a day where the family do nie things together with the father, the men go off together into the countryside pulling a cart full of booze and get shitfaced.

It was the day that we were actually meeting with the politicians. I brought my own snacks because I can't eat most common American foodstuffs. Between meetings, we went to the closest cafeteria, which was in the basement (near the senator-only subway!). And everyone in my group went to get food and sit down, but I instead wandered around the perimeter of the cafeteria trying desperately to find a recycling bin for my trash.
I could find none.
Eventually I sat with the compatriots at their table, defeated.
"Did you see Bernie?!?"
What?
"Bernie Sanders! He was just here!"
... what?
"We each got selfies with him, see?!"
.......WHAT?!
So yeah. I missed meeting Bernie Sanders AT THE CAPITOL CAFETERIA because I was looking for a recycling bin.

Think that Arthur Lee took inspiration from 'Revelation' on Da Capo. In the same way that Jagger used 'She Comes in Colours' title from the same album.

Madness. Like, syringes is one thing. That was to prevent AIDS as secondary to heroin. It wasn't just to be nice to junkies.

Those are the people who know that junkies lie. And also know that they are still human. But again, "never trust a junkie."

Bring back asylums? That's only going to turn into state run horror shows of abuse.
