Here. An explanation. “Feeling a lot like Baudelaire” was stolen from a song by Peter Laughner. My brother-in-despondant-arms, Ian, at SibLINGSHOT, introduced me to Laughner, and if you want to know more you can know more. I’m not going to pretend to be any sort of authority. I’m just getting to know the long-dead, fucked up young man myself.
So, it’s a stolen sentiment, like most of them, but it rings true enough. Anything rings true enough, if you feel like it should. Baudelaire was decadent and vain and provocative and influential and misunderstood, and I’m at least one of those things, and I have my rights and delusions.
Listen to Peter Laughner. He was 24 when he died. I’m getting old.

(Thanks Ib. I may be a thief, but at least I’m honest.)
On that note, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bob Dylan…
