I have the good fortune of being friends with a delightful young couple from Florida. We'll just call them Luke & Carter.

 

We love classic rock and seafood and being blessed by living where we do. There's really not anywhere like the Gulf Coast. Sure- it gets blown away every 40 years and we have to rebuild it but what the heck. It's worth it.

 

We have a long on going conversation thread where we talk about life, music, art and other assorted stuff that's shiny.

 

Here's a snip that touched me.

 

Luke: wanna stay in love with my sorrow.

Carter: Yeah, great song
Me: There's a line in Lithium that goes- anything is better than being alone.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Being with the wrong one is far worse than being alone. Watching someone become someone else from drinking or doing drugs. Being that guy yourself.
It's a long climb back to humanity from that hole.

Carter: You're back Unca James
Luke: Yeah
Me: Next time I see you guys Imma gonna hug you so hard
