On this day 15 years ago, Bill "Smog" Callahan released his second album "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" under his own name.

"Well I used to be darker/Then I got lighter, then I got dark again"

"Just before the curtain falls, thoughts drift back to 1996, when Callahan proclaimed: "Life's a joke / A waiting game".

13 years later, on his 13th album, he has found peace by breaking with it".
