I LOVE Ani's song "Half-Assed"! Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm truly astounded that I haven't seen this turn up on any other critic's list. Simply an amazingly good record.

They make me cringe. I was on my way to the Labor Day festival I attend every year and had to stop at grocery store in a rural area. This redneck guy in front of me in line all of the sudden just started going off on me, shouting, for no reason at all, telling me to back off. I tried to make some sarcastic remark about how we were standing in a line but it didn't seem to register. Fortunately, Ahdayneekay, who was with me, was waiting in the car. If he had seen us together who knows what would have happened. Victor Over the years, I've met a number of white people from the Atlanta area, and every one of them still has bigoted views. I think things have changed in the South, for the better but very slowly. I also think some things haven't changed there, and probably never will, particularly in rural areas. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 15:49:33 -0800 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Re: coke, njc > I was on my way to the Labor Day festival I attend every year and had to stop at > grocery store in a rural area.

The problem seems to be that there are entirely too many "Bubbas" in the world, and many (if not most) of them seem to reside in the U.S. South. (Sorry Em, I don't mean to pick on Tampa, here's a prime example ...) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/12/28/national/a092449S78.DTL Lori Santa Rosa, CA ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:47:03 -0500 From: frednow@aol.com Subject: some great records in 2006 Not a definitive or exhaustive list, just a bunch of albums released in 2006 I thought were really great, in no particular order: 1. The Beatles - LOVE ... nothing less than a masterpiece in my view 2. John Mayer - Continuum ... I wasn't a huge fan before, but I sure am now based solely on this album 3. Keith Jarrett - The Carnegie Hall Concert 4. Ignacio Berroa - Codes ... spectacular Afro-Cuban jazz 5. Shawn Colvin - These Four Walls 6. Sara Isaksson and Rebecka TC6rnqvist - Fire In the Hole ... two wonderful Swedish singers sing Steely Dan with intimate accompaniment 7. Larry Goldings - Quartet ... if you like really good music, this album's for you 8. Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae ... a breath of fresh air 9. Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau - Metheny/Mehldau 10. Various Artists - Gospel Music (Hyena label) ... the good old stuff, and the real deal 11. The Beatles - LOVE ... yes, I think this album is so brilliant and thrilling I listed it twice That's all for now ... I've left out a lot of really great shit.
