"Slowly Going Insane" is always a good one. How 'bout couple it with "Five (or more) Cultural Inputs That Keep Me Going From Day To Day"? Include all manner of books, music, news sources, and shamanistic avatars. Let your life be saved by rock and roll.
Let's see, for me, that would have to be:
1) Music: Led Zeppelin, Elvis (really, anything from Sun Records), the Who, the Velvet Underground.
2) The written word: Lester Bangs, Hunter Thompson, P.J. O'Rourke, Dave Barry and, yes, kleenexwoman.
3) Humor: P.J., Dave, Mel Brooks, Conan O'Brien, and general correspondence with good, smart, funny people.
4) Food: pasta, oranges, cold water, black coffee, good wine on occasion, and bread. The peasant's life.
5) Friends. Just in general. The simple good vibes we all get from one another.
