Me as Mickey Roarke... I'm so touched, I need a little time out...
Of all people, Mickey Roarke...
wait, I'm tearing up again...
Well, actually, his little bit in Buffalo 66 wasn't too bad.

I like your business model Mark. Seems very suited to your kind of 
work. Mine seems to require that I carry the traditional studio 
photography overhead, which I'm not too enamered with anymore.
Yeah, like people like us have "business models"...
I was just pondering the contradiction in this culture between success 
and freedom, and wondered if some artists I admire are less free than 
they may appear. I certainly think it's true in music, but that's pop 
culture.
