hold steady: stuck between stations.

there are nights when i think that sal paradise was right.
boys and girls in america have such a sad time together.
sucking off each other at the demonstrations.
making sure their makeup's straight.
crushing one another with collossal expectations.
dependent, undisciplined, sleeping late.

driving across america in 1995 with a super-8 and the radio. music by jonathan richman and the modern lovers.
