This Shit Is Sick And Sad

Lou Barlow should be ashamed of this.  Getting back with J, that's fine.  Firing the drummer, that's fucking cliche.  But that nonsense about social anxiety is fucking inexcusable.  It's nice that Barlow feels alienation.  Great.  The banality of human existence in 21st century America.  But Barlow's had an outlet for it most people don't have the talent or luck to enjoy.  It's not surprising that Barlow feels weird around other parents at his kids' school, but he'd feel a shit ton more awkward if he was punching the clock at some low-paying job and really couldn't afford to be there at all.  I understand that Barlow's Kath may have been a horrible bitch, but people suck, and Barlow is willing to remain in an even more insane dysfunctional relationship with J Mascis because Dinosaur Jr. pays.  Making a big deal out of mundane struggles is pretty fucking tacky when you are living a great life in the entertainment industry.  Grow the fuck up.
