There are a lot of incomplete sentences and thoughts here which will probably be somewhat confusing for you. When I say a lot of people at my mercy, I mean that if I were less responsible, I could reveal stuff about people in my life that would render them vulnerable, and to a lot of people. I also end up giving a bit of detail about old mate when I said I wouldn't. What I mean is that I'm not going to go into as much depth about old mate as I said I would. I'm gonna let the songs reveal the big, weird stuff. Because there's a lot there, a lot of weird stuff, let me tell you. Moreover, it's unfair that I give my one perspective on him - me being a person with social clout - and refuse him a voice on the matter. Hence I try to offer other people's opinions about him. And then try to internet-diagnose sociopathy. WHO AM I.  

Also, the BNW character I was talking about was John. And then there are some introspective rambles. There are more questions than answers. Cover photo from www.benjaminriches.com.

P.S. By 'purport' I meant 'import'. 

P.P.S. I didn't end up going to Cafe Lounge. I'm sorry I lied. Tom's show was real bloody good though.
