Unfortunately, I bet you the afternoon shift is about to come in to mess that up.

I think the mythos is important to some degree because as I said somewhere above, I am fascinated by the gap between D's aspirations and his achievements... which in a way also means examining the mythos vs. the reality.

And I don't blame him for any of that, either. I just wish he would have the confidence to just *do him*... Stop the stalling, stop trying to live up to the myth. JUST MAKE MUSIC, MAN.

And the first step to that is to get this album out. And then another. And another.

The more he stalls, the bigger the expectations grow and the worse the pressure gets.
