I used to push shopping carts for a living. Now I write for a newspaper. Sadly, I'd be richer today if I stuck with the former...but enough grousing: here's my homage to the job. Attribution.Yes, those clever headlines aren't my creations. But, here's a running count, so you can thank these guys:"Don't wanna know about the usual thing" - from Marshall Crenshaw's "Usual Thing" ('82)/"We started laughing 'til it didn't hurt" - from The Good Life's "Album of the Year" ('04)/"I'm a color reporter (Rose City on the 409)" - from Elliott Smith's "Bled White" ('98)/"I kind of dig these awkward silences" - from the Hold Steady's "Hornets! Hornets!" ('05)/"So I'm taking up prayin' on Sunday nights" - from Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins' "The Charging Sky" ('06)/"You say lackadaisical, I say lazy" - from Brendan Benson's "I'm Easy" ('02)/"Elevator to the brain hotel" - from Donovan's "Epistle to Dippy" ('68)/"Doing like the young folks do in West Coast towns" - from Fountains of Wayne's "Survival Car" ('96)/"Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud" - from the Walkmen's "We've Been Had" ('02)/"Too busy walking, out of stride" -- from Badly Drawn Boy's "Walking Out of Stride" ('02)make
