"punks, jews, and old folks have always been my natural constituency. all three groups are hopelessly sentimental, longing for some lost, mythical past. they are steeped in tradition and ritual, with bizarre rules dictating every tiny little aspect of how to properly live. they have jokes no one understands and a grudge against the world for picking on them. luckily, a keen sense of irony and self-mockey keeps them from being too depressing at parties."
