TOD:
Years ago, I had lunch with Ricky Ian Gordon. When I got to his apartment, he kept raving about this new song he had written and insisted I hear it. I wasn't crazy about it, so I said it was nice, or something to that effect. Through lunch he kept pushing me about the song, and I finally said that I thought it was okay, that I liked other things he had written better. He stopped returning calls, and I haven't heard from him since. He also turned down a friend request on Facebook.
