Sarah Lawrence College song
8:02 AM April 25th 2016 New York
Everything went fine at Sarah Lawrence College
While I was on stage I asked the kids to educate me on
What exactly it is that they study there
A person shouted
We do whatever the hell we want
I replied well that's what I've been doing all my life
I asked what their parents payed for them to do whatever the hell they want
And a girl in the front row said
$60000 a year
I said well that's what Walmart pays me to use my music in commercials
And that maybe I could go to their school one day too
'Cause they all seem like really nice people
I explained that Kirk Hammett from Metallica went to college
After Metallica made it which was met with a thud
A nice girl named Sophie played piano on a few songs
With us because my mic couldn't reach the piano
She played the four notes on Richard Ramirez
And Carry Me Ohio really really well
That was a lot of fun
We also played When Doves Cry in honor of Prince who died the night before
Steve Shelley played drums with me that night by the way
What a great drummer
Steve's also a really nice guy
Great acoustics in the room and the show went really well
And we got out of there by midnight
What a cool group of kids and a nice promoter named Max
It was the first show he ever promoted
And he gave me a check in an envelope
Which I actually didn't open until
Just now here in my New York hotel three nights after the gig
This is what his note said
Dear Mark
First of all thank you so much for playing Sarah Lawrence College
Even though we have a really small school
And don't get much attention
We have a really lot of passionate kids
I know every single one of them is thrilled to have you come
Your music means so much to so many
I first heard your music
When I was searching songs about Los Angeles
For a project in high school
I was fifteen or sixteen
And I came across Cruiser
And it changed everything for me
It was the music I had been searching for for a long time
Some people say your music makes them sad and that you make sad music
I don't know
I guess I disagree
Your music was and is a comfort to me
I feel a sort of connection to it that is less a melancholic thing
But more a reassuring thing
I was taking a seven-hour train across the state of New York
I listened to the entirety of Benji
And Red House Painters I back to back
I thought of a lot of things
When I listened to those records
And somehow it brought me ease to know someone
That was thinking some of those same things
It was calming
And even though I'm writing this letter before you even take the stage
I know the scene you perform tonight
Will be one of my most enjoyable moments
So thank you again so much for coming
I hope you had a nice time
And I hope this letter finds you well
Looking forward to the next record
The Jesu/Sun Kil Moon LP was great
And hopefully I can see you again on November 10th in Brooklyn
Best wishes and thanks again
Max
