I bought the new cd and it's pretty good, I think. It is certainly not the crass and raucous free-for- all of Pretender I and II (those records are just perfect, I think--and they, unlike me, haven't aged). I don't know--I don't mind pedal steel ever and I like when the British rock folks (I know, she's from Ohio and unlike me, admits to it) do country. I especially love when The Stones do it.

Not a fantastic cd but so far, I like it. I'll have to listen to it a few more times, I think.

On a weird front, Neel Kashkari--the man in charge of the 700 billion--his stats--as announced by the geniuses at CNN (why, oh why do I watch this crap?)--include growing up loving AC/DC. Hopefully, he can stop rocking on long enough to get us back in (to the) black.
