Currently Playing: Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks - We Can’t Help You
“As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if
everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in
fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and
tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately,
when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a
familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle
encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to
mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken
secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of
fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the
anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days,
are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save
our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just
so happens to be true…”

Enough said here.
