Done Been Gone Fishin' (Unmeaning Flattery)

Friday 06/15/2007 8:56 AM

If I woulda put a "Be Back Later" sign on the blog for the past month, fishin' would be as good an excuse as any other.

Alex gets here in a month. Tonight is my twenty year high school reunion. And it has been a mighty hot down here in The South as of late.

Lots of stuff to share. Stay tuned.

Neil Diamond "12 Songs"

Yep, you read it right: Neil Diamond. Produced by living legend Rick Rubin, who previously worked his magic on albums by Mick Jagger, Donovan, Tom Petty and, of course, Johnny Cash. As great as this album is, DO NOT BUY IT ON COMPACT DISC.

Sony Records has intentionaly installed software on this CD so if you put it in your computer, it will install software you don't want and that software will make vulnerable to hackers online. Yes, the ball is rolling so Sony can get its collective pants sued off.

Note that even the Amazon web page for the CD has a big declaration at the top that the album is "[CONTENT/COPY-PROTECTED CD] [ENHANCED]".

Beautiful album, though.
