Lou and Peter Berryman

I was prompted by my own post to go off to www.louandpeter.com to see what there was.

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/berryman2 has clips from a bunch of songs including The Speculator. But I would like to commend to your attention "Your State's Name Here." I think most of you will enjoy the tongue in cheek humor of it.

Sometimes when the grass is blown by the breeze
There's a far away look in the leaves of the trees
A memory returns heartbreakingly clear
Of a place I call home, (your state's name here)

( the rest of the song )

Is Anybody There? Does Anybody Care? Does anybody see what I see?

One of the things I hate most is seeing injustice and being unable to communicate it effectively to those around me. To hear a casual insult and be told it is not there when I know not only that the other person will be hurt, but that there is good reason for it.

To be told that I am overreacting, again.

To be told I should stop trying to prevent such hurt.

S/he "didn't mean it."

Well, when the person in question has just said "I am going to continue saying what I want and do not care if others are hurt by it," then I do not think I am irrational for believing that the person is intentionally saying things that that person knows will hurt.

And I do not believe one should just stand by and let it happen.

I hate feeling lonely.
