This idea may seem dark and depressing, but in the stories he tells and the music he writes, there's an obvious vein of respect and appreciation for the human condition. Like Waits or post punk counterparts Joy Division, the examining of the hopeless for Greenberg leads to purpose and, who knows? Maybe even redemption. It will be fascinating to see where Greenberg goes with his talent from the hopeless dream of "When I'm Stronger", but here's hoping it's not away for another 25 years.
