E10: Welcome Back to Life, Now Get Ready to Die; S15: Kurt Cobain and I Found an Old Song (Season Finale)

I seem to have fallen into a very strange period of creativity. For my entire life.But recently a new computer arrived. The screen got bigger. Everything got faster. Suddenly old notebooks started opening themselves. One song led to a monologue. The monologue led to another song. That song turned into an episode. Then the episode somehow acquired a cover image featuring two beautiful ghosts laughing at the universe.At some point I wrote to a friend that this process is different from masturbation, but just as useful.I stand by that observation.This episode begins with a newly written song called I Found an Old Song. It is followed by an entirely extemporaneous meditation on recovery, performance art, universities, disabled youth programs, French immersion, Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix, chronic fatigue, confusion as an addiction, and what happens when you discover that a lyric you wrote twenty-six years ago knew more about you than you did.Then, at the end, you get the artifact itself:Kurt Cobain and I.Welcome back to life.Now get ready to die.
