garth brooks also calls his music "product," and has asked his company to stop producing his first cds in attempt to make everyone buy his new 6-cd set
Jeez. As if his fans didn't own them already. Who doesn't have that friggin CD Fences? (well not me since I don't listen to that garbage, but I assume anyone who has gone 2 stepping once owns it). I guess they're hoping the fans got liquored up one evening and played skee shoot with them.
so... you igbore what he says because he's into corporate whoredoom: fair enough, but isn't the fact that he's a broing old country weastrel enough reason to ignore him anyway? :^)
on the way into town on the bus, the driver pulled over on the way through the village, said "i'll just be a minute", got out, crossed the road and went into the pub. He then came back out and carried on with

Could this be related to Keith's train driver story? Was yesterday "National Public Transport Drivers Get-Out-And-Shake-The-Snake Day"?
Hell, that shot a hole in my theory on why us drivers drive with one hand.

_IYFS_
on some of the hotter afternoons that have graced me here; it feels so comfortable, like an old friend I have not been able to have a deep convesation with for too long. I listened to the album during the winter and spring, but it just doesn't feel the same as it does now. It is a refuge from the heat--"cool" in too many senses of the word.
How weird. I have the exact same reaction to that record. I got it last may when I was on the edge of graduating and locating a real place to live in. It was a boring couple of weeks. I was sending out resumes, kicking around the overly crowded Women's Co-op (not so crowded because of people, but because they were simultaneously renovating the place as we were tripping over our own luggage) with absolutely nothing to do. That sounds good, but it was pretty dull since I couldn't figure out what to do with myself. it just felt like I was lying around the place waiting for everything. Like you're at the mercy of the universe on what was going to happen except try to slip in the kitchen every once in a while and live off of the very sparse pantry they had kept between school terms. It was also a very emotional time for me anyway since my life was about to change so drastically from what I was ever used to, and as i think about it, it seems every time I go through a big change in my life, I associate something in my life with it. In this case, at this time of the year, I hear this album and think of last summer. When i hear Morrissey's Vauxhall and I, I think of when I first showed up on campus and it was my first time away from home. When I see the moon hanging in the mid-day sky in the middle of fall, I think of that time in my freshman year in college. There is a long reason, but I won't go into it. I tried to listen to sinister at other times, and yet, it doesn't bring the power of these memories and feelings as it does at this time of year.
