Or what is worse when you have that meaningful thing to say and you realize they've heard it all before and that it's probably better that you don't say anything at all. I'm not sure what I would say to Jeremy Enigk, though. I think I would be alot more composed. I've had some great conversations with musicians in the past but it's always the special ones that seem closed off and isolated...or maybe that's just a reflection on who I happen to like. yeah…it sucks when you have something totally right in your head and it comes out all gobblegook.

My roommate spotted one of her musical heroes, Jeremy Enigk, coming out of a Starbucks before a show. While she wasn't exactly awkward, she said everything wrong. She meant to say something like, "I love your music. It means a lot to me and I've been working for months on an animation set to one of your songs," but it came out something like, "So, Starbucks is pretty lame, huh? And smoking's going to kill you. Why are you playing so late tonight?" She still cringes over that. I only met your briefly and can vouch for your music passion.
