>>THE CRITICS SPEAK: ego-soothing flattery, courtesy of (?!?) BEST BUY.com
Who the heck are you, son?
Ben Deily was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Just TRY spelling that in one of those crossword-puzzle-type forms they give you
at the DMV. Go ahead. Try.
Ben Deily has been in a few bands. Yep, including the Lemonheads, which he co-founded.
Ben Deily means you no harm.
Ben Deily will seemingly eat or drink almost anything that's colored blue. No one is quite sure why.
Ben Deily (it would seem) only really wants to be a regular grown-up-type, professional person. With a cool leather-top desk,
like you see in "executive" catalogues. It's all he ever wanted. Since he was very little. See "Irony."
Ben Deily once rode, and sang to, an elephant. In Southeast Asia. For hours. (The elephant seemed to enjoy it, because whenever
Ben stopped singing, the elephant would whack Ben with his ears until Ben started singing again. True story.)
Ben Deily was almost named "Robert."
Ben Deily hopes you won't attempt to draw too many conclusions about Ben Deily, because, cripes, you wouldn't want him doing
that to YOU, would you? I mean, he doesn't even know you.
Ben Deily is really glad you made it.

Is Ben Deily still playing music?
It's been known to happen. Matter of fact, his band Varsity Drag completed a 25-city European tour last Jan/Feb. Woo-hoo! I mean, D'OH!
Where can I buy CDs?
CLICK HERE to order Varsity Drag and PODS CDs
Oh, and as for LEMONHEADS stuff...
As I have mentioned before in this space, I haven't been paid one thin dime by TAANG! records for more than a decade. They,
however, apparently continue to merrily sell records and CDs with my songs on them, heck, even a T-shirt with my face on it.
Oi.
Anyway, I can't say you shouldn't buy the stuff, because I like most of it in a kind of nostalgic, teen-angst way. Apparently,
some of you share my opinion:
>>(An AMAZON.COM buyer speaks out, flatteringly)
>>(The crankiest punk of them all weighs in...)
So, if you're feeling the love but don't have the dough, EMAIL ME AND I'LL FIND A WAY TO FTP YOU ANY OF THE OLD CATALOGUE
THAT YOU WANT, in MP3 form.
If Curtis objects, well, please invite him to go and f*ck himself.

What do you feel like eating for dinner?
I dunno...what do you want?
So, uh...what should I do with my life?
1. THE SHORT VERSION
"Give alms to all who ask; argue not concerning God."
- Walt Whitman
2. THE SLIGHTLY LONGER (but well worth it) VERSION:
After more than a decade of reading this almost every day, I can only tell you that it opens up more and more and more.
And if it don't leave you stunned and grateful, you ain't reading carefully enough.
The author, Zengetsu, lays it down like I ain't NEVER heard before. Leaving, really, nothing more to say. Except thank
you, Z-man.
