Technology As Lemon Juice
By Mitch Berg
So at the nadir of my misery on Monday, I fire up the MP3 player.
And what are the first three songs that insensitive software bastard serves up immediately?
- “Found Out About You”, Gin Blossoms
- “Backstreets”, Springsteen.
- “Light Don’t Shine No More”, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
So much for the “healing power of music”.
(No, don’t worry – I actually got a good laugh out of it).

Sad to hear you’re feeling down. Hope you’re on the mend soon.

Yeah, you’re kinda bummin’ us out man…..
But really, dating or starting relationships again after marriage and adulthood has to be brutal (I married at 19-can only dimly remember the whole process of beginning and maintaining relationships-but it was fun…for the most part). Remember what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger! And smarter.

Mitch, going through the dating blues myself. The lady I thought would save me wants to just be friends, sigh. So what do I do? Spend 6 hours driving back from the Valley listening to the love songs from the American Songbook and to the blues. Should just put a bullet in my head.
Hold on brother, as Kenny Wayne Shepard says, You got to live on.
