We coaxed local musician Graham Weber off the coattails of his latest album The Door To The Morning to come over and write a column for us here at the Dic. Ever the pushover, Graham agreed, and we’re pleased to bring you the idle thoughts of one of America’s greatest singer-songwriters. You can catch Vol. 1 of How To Successfully Avoid The Imaginary Limelight on his myspace, or Vol. 2 right here. Vol. 3 is waiting for you below.

It’s late again, and I haven’t had a chance to eat all day. So needless to say as the day wore on my mind has been preoccupied with my appetite. There is not much to eat in my house tonight. The cupboard is nearly bare, with the exception of dried pasta, and 4 cans of Skyline Chili. It’s one the few red meat products I will eat from a can. The other is Armor Corned Beef Hash.

My body hurts and I can’t seem to get caught up with the things I need to get done… so of course, I’m writing this instead. Rain in the middle of the night is one of my favorite things. I sit in my garage and smoke, and as of late I’ve been nostalgic. Unintentionally finding myself clinging to a youth that gets farther away with every bill and brutal morning after.
