    Huge fan of Jason's music. I don't think you can write music like this without going where he's gone. I'm glad he is healthy now.

      No need to perpetuate the fallacy that you have to abuse yourself (and in the process, those around you) to make meaningful art.

    Man, I can’t stand you sometimes Jason, you don’t know me, but you can put words to my life when I’m living it and I can’t. Sometimes I just want to scream your lyrics from the top of my lungs, but I’d just be stealing them from you. Maybe part of life is realizing your unique and special existence is not so unique or special after all, but the special part is when you find you’re not alone. Castles made of sand.....beautiful but fragile. Damn you
