I drew this loverlay picture during lecture on Wednesday. Guess my mind was wandering, huh? Even though we had an interesting topic that day (personality disorders!). When I'm walking across the bridge with tunes blaring in my ears I think of what I'm supposed to know for school, and when I'm in school I think of riot grrrls and Marshall stax. But something did penetrate my flab-coated skull: I picked up the great saying "One drink is just too many, and 1000 isn't enough"-- from the part of the lecture on alcohol abuse. I think it can be adapted for eating disorders and pretty much any addiction (replace "drink" with "bite" or "line" or "fling" or "pair of designer shoes" et cetera ad finitum). Anyway, I titled this lovely scribble "One song is just too many, but 1000 isn't enough" (because after all, music can be addictive).
"One song" makes me think of the similarly titled Sleater Kinney tune "One Song For You." The lyrics go something like, "One song, for you/ We wrote a little tune it/ Takes off, for you, hold on hold..." This song contains one of the greatest S-K lines of all time, "Drop little boy crumbs you can follow back, When you get lost becoming a man."
