I'm listening to Johnny Cash sing "I'm Leaving Now", and realizing that between him, Warren Zevon and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole I could fill an entire album with songs about death sung by people who know they're going to die soon.

Sometimes I think too much.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole?

Izzy (as he was known) was the finest 300-pound ukelele player Hawaii's ever produced!

Seriously, he was a folk/pop/traditional singer with a gorgeous voice. He's best known for his cover of "Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World"

Thinking is never wasted. Regrets are a waste and I thing these artist tried not to have too many.

I often find links like these and Matt tells me I think too much. However I don't think one can ever think too much. Perhaps read in to things too much but thinking is always good.

I'm gonna go down to the L'ouvre Museum...

theres no such thing as thinking too much. though thinking too much is probably what drives a lot of people crazy. but then again, who is better than crazy people?
