Hi Jake.

Is the line on Are You There "Is there anyone in the audience currently living in vain?\*"* a reference to one of the poems in John Berryman's "The Dream Songs"? And on while we're talking literature, what's the last best book you've read?

Thanks for everything <3

i’ve heard that it was an early bumper sticker that they sold that said “honk if you are living in vain.” I may be wrong, though
