EMO

I had the opportunity to meet Emo Philips last night. I must admit that I am still giddy with glee. He was a very courteous and gracious man, and though I only spoke to him for a moment it meant the world to me. I managed to tell him that his work was a great influence on my own and very briefly discussed the kind of writing I do. I intend to write a longer piece about it on Bonez, but I just wanted to mention it for the time being. The man is a hero of mine and has been for a great many years. If you're not familiar with him, check out his albums, E=MO2, Live at the Hasty Pudding and Emo Philips. The man is a genius.
