yeah, taking it to the next level to have a relationship would probably make that 'school' more palatable.

however, some people just ain't into that, you know? they are young and carefree and will never die, right?

truthfully, I don't quite get that either, but like my powerful ability to ignore, I can like Jonathan Richman for his music and I can like Mr. E for his power to befriend the people.

Maybe Jonathan Richman and Mr. E should get together, come to think of it.

a fool and their money are soon departed

Wow, P.T. Barnum may have been a con artist, but he warn't no murderer. What he said was, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

Definitely nothing wrong with background music, how would movies and theater and tv survive otherwise?

I have a friend who went to NYC to work for a pick-up artist training school, then did so well that him and a friend opened their own school, which has been featured on the Today Show and mentioned on SNL. I’m totally happy for him, but the whole thing is a little creepy. I know that a fool and their money are soon departed, but ugh, something isn’t right about these pickup schools.

Isn't it Mr. E?

I love that you worry about this post not being about music when in a round-about way it is more about music then practically anything you've done lately (a fact, by the way, which has always pleased me about your posts).

And no, there is nothing wrong with music in the background. Ask Brian Eno.
