Oh well, I've got my new Will Kimbrough "Americanitis", and my new Fred Eaglesmith "Milly's Cafe".). One of the talking heads was playing nothing but fake campaign spots, trying to one-up the more outlandish claims, and he said that the problem was that when he went to commercial break, no one could tell.... Maybe someone with a little more tact than myself (say it ain't so!) should try and get a personal message to John, maybe through "The Roots Agency" (not David right now). Or you could write to him at his house (but that's a little too forward, in my opinion). The problem is that John probably does not think this is important. He doesn't waste time on the Internet (being busy out there living) and he doesn't think he should spend money to help other people do so. He may (or maybe not, I've been wrong before - let me count the ways....) think that he is in some small way actually improving our lives by depriving us of something that, in his opinion, is a waste of time. Or maybe, since he thinks we have the time to waste, he's waiting for some geek to take the time and money and do it right.
