i like the part where he sees the bike is parked outside a social services building and gives a kind of knowing sigh as if to say "times are tough pal, but not on my watch."

i did read that part of yr post. i'm just trying to settle into grumpy middle aged man who doesn't give a damn mode but not fully convincing myself.

Isn't Rosen riding that bike because he frequently writes about early 20th century music and this bike fits that old-school ethic
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 16:55 (eleven years ago) link
I hope not
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
that is a terrible reason to ride an ugly bike IMO
cheesy retro is his thang

"PT Cruiser" and "West Coast Customs" describing the same thing is some pretty heavy metaphor-mixing

Does the endless positivity start to feel fake after a while? Sure. Did I spend my first week here co-writing a terrible song titled “Bone to Bone”? Of course I did.
