I never learned to fight, but I got picked on plenty in school. And then my mother put me in Judo and like a wimpier version of the Karate Kid, I learned to take a fall, and I learned to respect the fight and fear it less. This episode isn’t about Judo, and I’d still prefer to be a lover, not a fighter, but as the creative life contains more than its share of struggle, we should probably talk about it. I also get around to explaining the fish on the album art; trust me, it’s relevant.
