Just coming in under the wire for today. I’ve always loved this Steve Earle song. Protagonist of song is a total screw up who always forgets to do the stuff you’re supposed to do on Valentine’s Day – no flowers, no candy, no card.
” I know that I swore that I wouldn’t forget… I wrote it all down… I lost it I guess…”

Well, chalk it up to youthful stupidity. This song is amazing.
I woke up this morning in the mood for a little Paul Westerberg, then I realized there are about 1000 songs by him that I like. Here’s one of them
