why we should not mourn The Silver Jews
Let me say first that I love David Berman of The Silver Jews, and author of critically-acclaimed Actual Air. They’ve been around twenty years, he’s given us a beautiful beating of material.
Berman broke the news on the 22nd of this month that this project was coming to a close.
He’s what, 42 now? So he doesn’t want to be in a band anymore. Sure, its something to be bummed about.
But the man’s got dignity. (and quite the dad.)
You can not take the saint outta a romantic.
Berman may have “quit” music. But he’s still a writer, a creator, a weaver or words. You don’t just stop being that.
We’ll be seeing more of Burman, just not in the way we’re used to seeing.
