My Job Is To Be Some Sort

I Used To Do This Big Rant At The End Of Some Gigs With Ben Folds Five. The Band Broke Into This Big Heavy Metal Thing And I Started As A Joke To Scream In A Heavy Metal Falsetto. I Found Myself Saying Things Like: Feel My Pain, I Am White, Feel My Pain.

The Way I See It, There's Only One Melody For Any Song.

My Parents Told Me I Must Get Married. I Was Seen As A Failure If I Didn't Do It.

I Divorce Myself From Listeners Who Aren't Tolerant Of Humor. I Did Notice Universally That, Especially When It Comes To Weight, People Look In The Mirror And Get The Angle Just Right, Tell Themselves It's All Right, And Then They Go Out.

But I Really Do Have A Soft Spot For The Solo Shows. Any Musician Who Writes And Sings Will Tell You That's The Center Of It, That Is It. It's Almost Like There's Something Church-like About It And You Gotta Go Back There, If You're A Songwriter That Sings Your Material.
