Angry Man?

A number of people now have looked at this blog and wrote to me asking "Why are you angry?" The truth is...I'm not. Well, sometimes I am but not always. Since I don't want to come off as an old crank; I have my later years in life to be that, I'm going to explain the Angry Man name. Plus I don't have much work to do right now at the office. The summer can be long around here. Sigh.

The Angry Man reference is a long standing joke with my friend Andrew. Back in our LOEB days, Andrew came up with the brilliant idea of a spoken word album, based on a remix of the song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega, called "I am Sitting in the Doorway with a Donkey on the Table". For those who know the song, you can get the humour here. I told Andrew that this was a great idea and that the album would be the first release of my label company, AngryMan Records. Because back in the LOEB days, almost everybody working there was angry.

So the joke stuck and that's where the Angry Man reference comes from. Although Andrew has yet to complete the album, and I'm told that I now have to compete for the rights with the Littl' Lush Music label. Love ya, Dawn!
