Better Halfs


Well, I play music as one half of the Better Halfs, and created a MySpace page yesterday. It was interesting to notice how foreign it all seemed, while realizing that I am to a great degree a dinosaur in this cyber-connected age. Go to http://myspace.com/betterhalfs if you want to check out the music. The song "election 2004" was written, as you might surmise, on the eve of the 2004 presidential election. I was full of paranoia, playing my guitar, and out came the riff (inspired by Steely Dan) and the phrase "you don't understand what it means to be a man, anyway." The song got built around that.
