I could have just subscribed based on citing Tears for Fears alone. That, and I've been enjoying your Twitter feed for some time, greedily mining new titles to add to the already teetering "to read" stack.
It was this article that clinched it for me, however. Among other things, it reaffirms what many of us (notably, Stephen King) have observed for some time now: we're the content, not the customer. I’d rather pay *you* directly for your wonderful, staccato-snappy words and recommendations.
Having said the above, I’m off to re-listen to "Head over Heels" and "Pale Shelter" for the 11-ty billionth time. Never mind that I’m nearly old enough to count that high.
fellow Tears for Fears fan! You've come to the right place. I have been on this kick where I am listening to the music of past seasons of my life and dressing the way I wanted to but didn't have the money to do it. Hahah maybe it's a midlife crisis. Bless you, Tom. This feedback will float me for a long, long time. Sometimes I feel like all my written words and book talk just gets sucked into the void where nobody see it, but you just gave me some reassurance and validation all with just a few kind words. Thank you. And thank you for the sub. Now how much do you love The Talking Heads??
