I admit I kind of lost it the other day listening to FOW's Troubled Times on a rebroadcast of Pseu's show. Such a heartbreaking song. Michael. you're right--they were witty and insightful without being snarky or cloying. I wasn't as devoted to Adam Schlesinger as I was to, say, Leonard Cohen or Bowie, but, again, as Michael says, the very avoidability of this tragedy is what hit me.
