Matt: its not that i don’t like it
Mark: rowdy
Mark: screamin’
Mark: thumpin
Matt: i know
Mark: rockin’ out
Matt: i guess it seems contrived
Matt: he was a drummer
Matt: drummers are not front men
Matt: and he does commercials
Matt: or guest appearances on food network
Mark: lol
Matt: that’s not rock
Mark: even rockers gotta eat, man
Mark: imagine having to eat food cooked in a microwave everyday
Mark: all year
Mark: every year
Matt: i bet he’s got a pretty big nest egg
Mark: even thanksgiving dinner
Mark: i’m sure he’s loaded
Matt: who does that
Matt: you ever see the riders these guys carry
Mark: but he’s singing and playing the drums at the mean fiddler
Mark: which is awesome
Mark: and it ROCKS!
Mark: give it to hank
Matt: 17 whole chickens with pierier water
Mark: he’ll appreciate it, i bet
Matt: naaaa
Matt: i did get him the ten concert shirts

Matt: great stuff
Matt: needles and pins?

Matt: great version
Mark: i think i have
Mark: i’ll dig the stuff out and check and listen
Mark: :)
Matt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__F5bfTJlfY
Mark: i can only listen to so much of the ramones
Matt: i had to run away, yeah
Matt: still it begins
Matt: needles and pins
Matt: because of all my pride
Matt: the tears i got to hide
Matt: i thought i was smart
Matt: i stole her heart
Matt: perfect tune
Matt: i love the key change
Matt: so amazing
Mark: you listen to band of horses?
Mark: yeah you did
Mark: nevermind
Matt: non stop
Matt: for about a week
Mark: i’m still hung-up on Marry Song
Matt: then i listened to 4 springsteen records when i got to jersey and driving around
Matt: started with wild and the innocent and worked my way through to the rising
Matt: not to sound like a fem, but it makes me cry - i have to hide it from the kids
Matt: ridiculuous
Mark: lol
Matt: “Needles and Pins” is a song by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono, originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon. Other hit versions of the song were recorded by The Searchers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Stevie Nicks and by the Ramones.
Mark: the older i get, the easier it is to get choked up
Matt: Jack and Sonny
Matt: i had no idea
Mark: gotta wipe my eyes all too often
Matt: word
Mark: overwhelming joy, mostly
Mark: a real connection with the meta
Matt: i’m not sure i can tell the difference anymore
Matt: joy, saddness, fear, elation
Mark: well, joy and elation make you cry
Matt: for sure
Mark: and saddness and fear usually make you angry or despondant
Matt: i guess what i’m saying now, is that the ability to peg it to something has become irrelevant
Matt: it just is
Mark: nah
Mark: it’s true that it just is
Matt: word
Mark: but being able to tell the difference and feeling all of it to the fullest is the magic of life
Matt: henry just landed a big role in a gig at school doing higher and higer
Mark: the magic of the form
Matt: i guess that’s what i mean
Matt: feeling all of it without labeling it
Matt: the tears are magic
Matt: and the springsteen tears are equally about not being there as they are of driving across the state line one more time with the kids in tow
Mark: fair enough, a label is unnecessary
Matt: the moment
Mark: the moment
Mark: so, awesome for hank
