Tom is listening to Tim Rogers. Stupidly Beautiful. He's been making music since You Am I and he's still the best rock and roll writer in the country and most people have forgotten to notice. 'What Rhymes with Cars and Girls' is a solo album that sounds like a man who has thought carefully about things. I'd like to think more carefully but it's important to act. Two in the morning and the thinking is ongoing and the acting is deferred and I'm philosophically stalled. I Ching threw Hexagram 3 which is Difficult Beginnings. He had a lyric that made you feel understood.

"The unexamined life is not worth living."
