"UN-Impressive 'Compliments' . . . When compliments are used as a passive-aggressive way to manipulate others for personal gain. Delivering a back-handed compliment which makes others feel bad. Dishonesty-you say it but really do not mean it. False bravado. Manufacturing the moment for your ulterior motives. Pandering to win affection, a vote, or approval. Exaggerating and being over-zealous. Being hypocritical. Expressing preferential treatment or making an unfair comparison. When it draws attention to a person's weakness, disabilities, or shortcomings. When it is inappropriate and off-color."

Finally, he put "beautiful at the top of his list of adjectives. Not that I should have cared."Sweet talker, I scoffed. "You didn't know anything about me the first time we met."I knew you were beautiful, he said. "I just hoped for the rest."

"Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it."

"We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!"

"I just play to the people I can see. So it's almost like you are playing to the first few rows of the crowd. You can see the faces of the first hundred people, but then it becomes a blur as the crowds disappear over the hill."
