Survival is not my favourite topic, but I'm aware of some readers who are interested in knowing how I survived all this trauma. I think my sense of humour saved me. I am sensitive and I often get hurt, but I have learned to search my pain for a laugh. Some of my best punchlines came from intense suffering. Take the Soundproof sketch about a suicide line that coaxes repeat callers to suicide. It arose from some of my worst personal experiences and darkest contemplations. When you suffer, you have a firm grip on the absurdity of living. We laugh at the absurd. I'm not worried that any future success will make me too happy and comfortable to produce funny material. I think I will always suffer. But even if an easier life does slow down my productivity, I still have my songs. I hope my funny writing doesn't interfere with my musical success. It was meant as a bonus to my music, not as a detriment. |
