There's often good AMAs, and if you're into memes it's fine. But then… there's everything else.

Yeah, the whole thing about it coming from Billy Preston picking up chicks (and given CSN's penchant for "free love" - aka "fuck me because I'm a rock star and I'll forget you ever existed") is a bit creepy. But I like the sentiment I got from it nonetheless.

Replying to you here since nested replies have ceased up there. Both the book and the film are amazing - it might actually be my favourite Scorcese film. And it's a very faithful adaptation. So either one, really.

In a sense I think The Age Of Innocence has the same message. Yes, dude gets dicked around by society, he is forced to abandon the woman he thinks is perfect for him (and very well might be, in some sense).

Viscous attacks are the worst. You just can't get them off without scrubbing.
