Do you ever play a peice of music until you feel dead to it.

I have been listening to Billy Bragg so often lately that i am afraid that i will be sick of it but its addicting. Its not nesscairly ther political stuff although thats what i started with. Its his love songs. They seem so joy filled and nostalgic with a sweet regret.
