Anyone Can Play Guitar

I recently found this scrawled on a scrap of paper at the bottom of my purse, in my own handwriting:

“Why are we acting like Radiohead is saving our lives?
They’re not going into space for us.
They don’t know the dark secret of the universe and they’re keeping it from us because they love us too much.
They’re just a band. They play guitars.”

No date, no attribution, none of the notes that usually accompany something like this.

Were you with me when we discussed this? Did you say this? Did I say it? Were we drinking? Did we have fun?
