I'm too old to be hanging out eating chips all the time.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, I want to tell this little short story too.

that is called sponges of experience and um it's just a really um i it's notable that i want to explain it because um i wrote it over four days it was a challenge that uh it was a challenge that uh i have had in the back of my mind since i was a teenager um i wouldn't say 15 16 years old or something like that i'm like watching

Elvis Costello conducted an interview on probably like a night flight or a USA up all night or just some kind of music video thing.

MTV, I suppose.

And he had an offhand remark.

He's like, oh, well, I could write an album.

I could write a pop album over a weekend.

But he was talking, whatever it was he was talking about at the time.

He was like, but you know, like, oh, I was pouring over.

I was working on this album.

If I could write a pop album, I could write it over a weekend.

And it just like stayed in my head.

I'm just like, huh.

That's wild.

I wonder if I could do that.

And I've been holding that thought for...

35 years or something like that.
