I’m far more disappointed and distracted by this engagement then anyone should be. I think that this Radio Exile blogger expressed his reaction better and with more humor than I ever could hope to.
Here in the last week of 2008 I realize I have completed at least one goal this year. The idea was to commit one song each Sunday to a list of “Important Songs of 2008″ kept running on this blog. At previous landmarks (1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, and 3rd Quarter) I posted the [...]
