Lately I've been feeling more interested in reading books than listening to music or watching television shows that I am worried I won't enjoy as much as I want to. One thing that still cuts right through me though is Jonathan Richman's voice. Probably because I miss Boston, and Richman's voice is all about nostalgia. I never even heard the song until this year, but "Ice Cream Man" sounds a masterpiece of expression.
Of course, that's the problem here. I've only been enjoying things that are new, and I feel almost numb to things I'm accustomed to enjoying on a regular basis. Almost as if betrayed by old friends, I suppose.
