There's occasions when you struggle to articulate an idea and something wonderful happens.
I mentioned to Butthole that I realised from a young age that it was useful with people to try to talk to them about what they are thinking rather than what they are talking to me about.
Such a statement works because ironically it's something new and also it sounds and feels familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before. We don't think we have, but do feel the liberty to correct us.
