Heatmiser "Blackout"

The Portland, OR, band Heatmiser was best known for launching the career of singer/songwriter Elliott Smith, but other members of the group went on to have successful music careers long after Heatmiser's demise. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Neil Gust went on to form the pop/rock band No. 2, while bassist Sam Coomes formed the popular indie pop duo Quasi with his then-wife, Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss. Drummer Tony Lash, who produced some of Heatmiser's material, went on to do production work with a variety of artists, including the Dandy Warhols, Death Cab for Cutie, and the Minders.

@tcornellbusiness Thank you. Now I am going to figure you out.

You say something hurtful to your gay lover and he begins to cry. He tells you in between his sobs that he is not crying because of what it is that you said. He says he is crying because he realizes how difficult it must be to be you. To be so miserable and spiteful as you are and to have to go through life that way.

This was before the down effect of alcohol really got a grip of him.
