When Singer/Songwriters Can't Sing or Write

I went to Jimmy Mak's tonight, a Portland music hot spot. My friend Court and I weren't sure what we were getting ourselves into, but we were up for a night of new tunage. All in all, it was really fun, but I wasn't super impressed with the headliner. While he totally rocked the piano, his voice and lyrics were subpar. (I feel like my iTune's extensive library of singer/songwriters qualifies me as a legitimate critic of this genre.)

Consider these lyrics: "Reach out for me. Reach out for me. If you do, I'll reach out for you." Ummm... did this guy just find a fancy way to describe a hug?

I hate to say it, but this guy is almost livin' the dream.
