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.
