EDGESCUT

                                           March, 2 2000

Could use NEWFOLKS as an
example of something I think
about some times:

I sometimes run into people who
think I'm "on the cutting edge"
(or something) in my musical
taste; but to me it always
seems like I'm mildly out of
it, just playing catch-up.

I could try to go:
                                     
  Hey man, I was into Suzanne Vega back       
  at the *beginning*!  I was listening to     
  her right after her first album, I          
  didn't have to wait for "Luka".             
                                              
On the other hand:                           
                            
  I didn't know jack about her       
  until I read about her in some     
  place no more underground than     
  "The Village Voice".               
                                     
  I was only an hour or two from Manhattan by           
  train.  Why did I have to wait for her album          
  release to check her out?  Why did I have to wait     
  for her to tour and come out to Stony Brook?
