    In my opinion "Vampires" is one of the best love songs ever written.
    The fact that he gets to sing it to her on stage is enough to make an unsentimental, cynical malcontent like me get sweaty eyes.

If Jason messes this up I will find him in whatever gutter he's laying in and beat him down into it again.

    When my favorite singer/songwriter John Prine says he is great I know it isn't just me that thinks he is. Damn I wish I had the ability to write so much into a song, a short story that you can read while drinking a cup of coffee driving down the road at 70 MPH and know all about the subject in less than 5 minutes. I didn't come up with that quote about the short story, I don't have the ability to come up with something like that, if I did I would have a tiny bit of the talent Isabell has.
