Ah, Jenny. Jenny was the nicest person working at this horrible restaurant. She always seemed to be wanting to do good things for other people. She would make it easier for one person to do their job, and be off helping another, all in a big rush of customers. Of course, no one is perfect, and her problem was that she liked Johnny Depp. She always said she would leave us all if Johnny Depp said, "Be with me." Me, being the naturally selfish person I am, really didn't want to lose Jenny to this terrible movie star. It was obvious we wouldn't have been able to live without her. Thus, the song.

Welcome to the first of fourteen songs of the collection "My Friends," by the moniker "Song of the Gun. This album's concept was simple:
Name fourteen of your closest friends. These must be friends who have seen you at your best, your worst, your happiest, your most frustrated. Imagine their personalities. Imagine their likes and their dislikes. Imagine how they act when they drank way too much, how they react when completely slammed with work, how they handle themselves under the type of situations when they are tested. At long last, imagine them smiling, large and wide. Now, imagine a song that sings their praises and shouts their personalities.
In the Spring and Summer of 2005, I worked as a waiter at quite possibly one of the worst restaurants in Austin. It shall remain nameless. The friends however are etched in my musical history. After completing my employment at this nameless place, I gave each of them a song that expressed how I felt about them, and boy did I get some smiles for that.
Jay is the first of these songs. Jay is absolutely a dreamer. I love the dreamers. He had this fantastic tattoo on his forearm. Jay loved the movies, and at one point he and I wanted to create a movie that was based entirely upon our dreams (Ahhh youth). He would always send me texts at 4:00 am that said, "Nipples, Vaginas, Zombies." How could I not put that in a song? So here you go.

"When am I gonna get out of this funk? When am I gonna get the parts neccesary to make the intergalactic hovercraft work again (superglue isn't a valid tile glue, tile being neccesary for entering the earth's atmosphere, duh). When am I gonna want to create music again? Where is the drummer I am looking for? How am I ever gonna get my music released?!?!?!?!?!? I must admit that I am losing faith in my one friend's ability to do that, though he promised me a site with downloads and online carts and all this weird nonjsense that doesn't even seem to be aboiut music but rather about selling it. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"
Well, I am out of this funk NOW!!!!!!!!!!!. Dave Wirth seems to have been doing an okay, but not really, wonderful, but not stellar, tubular, but not gnarly, job of putting music on the websify. Whatevers. He's such a LOSER.
