Comment:

i got sad tonight. i wanted to send my boy a copy of the catcher in the rye for him to pass the hours with. i send him tea bags and pictures and drawings and song lyrics and poems. and then this tape. to depress the life out of him. i was on the floor by the end. maybe it is just these songs to me. the title is from the joni mitchell song. my mom told me to listen to that song when she saw me carrying around the catcher. because she knew i was making a tape. and she was right. the song was perfect for the tape and for the book.
