To this day, that has to be one of the oddest morning shows in existence. The junkie puppet was a nice touch. Almost like it was dreamt up from one of Elliott's nightmare dreams.

I've written a blog post about a coming book on Elliott Smith but mostly about AI and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Elliott Smith and Ludwig Wittgenstein

"When an artist dies, who gets to be remembered for their art, and who gets caught in the amber of their death? Longevity helps; if Picasso hadn't outlived his Blue Period and Guernica by a long stretch of years, he might be dinted today as indulgently moody. At eighty-two Leonard Cohen was still making decadently sad albums-his last, You Want It Darker, only months before his death-but because he wore a suit and spent time as a monk, he's remembered less as a poet laureate of melancholy, more as a poet, full stop. Elliott has been swallowed up by a darkness that fully consumed him only at the end. It's never seemed to use a childish word-fair. "There's kind of an inordinate amount of focus on whether I'm personally happy or not," Elliott said once. "If you have a bad dream, does that mean that you're not a happy person? I mean, that's the same place that songs come from.""
