but time was like water and i was the sea

Well, it is officially 2008. I hope everyone out there is happy and healthy and greeting the 8 well!

Rather than resolutions, every year I try to find a hero to add to my list—someone to inspire. This year that person has been Townes Van Zandt.

So I thought I would post some youtube videos of him, or tributes to him. It’s so hard to get his songs on without just posting videos. He was a troubled guy. But he respected the language. Common language. Simple, quiet chords. And I admire that in someone, albeit lonely on occasion.

That being said, I want to wish everyone well. And I hope you have a Happy New Year.
