Music
Being a songwriter myself, sometimes it's very difficult to admit you like other people's songs. In fact, it's a goddam nuisance is not only a pain in the ass but puts a hell of a dent in my superiority complex). I have to, but Joe Cannon is one hell of a songwriter (under the name his mama gave him-Jean Peloquin). Joe sings too-not good-but great! (which is not only a pain in the ass but puts a hell of a dent in my superiority complex). I understaunderstand broads like him too. I hate you, Joe Cannon, but so will a lot of other singers and songwriters in days to come. I guess only the people are going to like you, Joe, and god knows there are millions of 'em. For a lot of us, this is the beginning of - "Cold Hard Times."
