Reader Feedback on "It Ain't Me, Babe"
Lovely piece but I'm sure a million people by now have told you it ends perfectly at "Rock stars we ain't".

I liked it, for no particular reason. Made me really smile in places. Sounded real and uncomforable, which was your aim, i'm assuming. good job

Nice fact-checking peckerheads: Lars Ulrich is a drummer. This author has again proven himself not to be a rock star: he don't know basic metal, yo. Still a stellar piece, this miniscule misprint aside.

Everyone has an opinion...I really liked your piece. I thought it was entertaining, uncomfortable and funny. I totally could visualize the whole scene in the vacant apt. I look forward to reading additional pieces.

You wrote this whole thing from the standpoint of what you did to her, but the story is actually about what she did to you. You have some sort of Xtian guilt or something... or you're gay like that guy said. Maybe you wanted your friend to join in?

Excellent. You put a realistic spin on what it is am I am doing to some young, coquettish Girl when I learn that Fahey or Frusciante. I'll just have to prepare myself to make sure the truth is felt afterwards, be it cheesy. But a rock-star I ain't. Perfect Dylan reference in the title by the way.

Loved the writing style and the strong imagery. Hip without being cynical. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Lars Ulrich is a drummer. Not a bassist.

The self-deprecation seems slightly exaggerated, but I liked it ... rings true.

The songs -- they do the work. Your job is to live up to them. I like the ending ... nicely done.

haha Im actually a big fan of Mike Young's work. You should check out his other stories

Ugh, gawd. This whole article boils down to: she wasn't hot enough or you weren't straight enough. Stop trying to romanticize/overanalyze this. Jeez.
