🎶I'm healing you
I'm feeling you
Your old life, it is gone
Because I made a road to you
And came that way alone
😭😭😭

UPDATE: I made contact with the guy who wrote this musical, and it turns out we DID know each other at school, but he changed his name and look after graduation, so that's why I didn't recognize him
We're interviewing him for @herecomestomorrow.net season two next year

🎶I won't be going back to Boise, Idaho
Steal my keys if I say I'm about to go
'Cause nothing's worth the hurt
I've put her through
If I could do it all again
I still wouldn't know what to do

Gave Will Oldham a copy of my dad's biography of Big Bill Broonzy last night
Well, technically I gave it to his electric guitarist / clarinetist, but he said he'd give it to Will and I wrote a note on the inside

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
