Great quote. Although, I took the opposite turn - from politics into the Fourth Estate.

Hey all, Quick email to let you know that I have finally created my political and music site Politizine, although it won't be at its original site. Thanks to Blogger, I now have a Web log or "blog" site for Politizine - at http://politizine.blogspot.com/. On a random basis, I will be posting articles and news at the site. This site will have to do until I figure out how to get a real interactive new site up and running. Special thanks to Dan Kennedy for pointing this free site out to me when he announced on his Boston Phoenix Media Log column http://www.bostonphoenix.com/medialog/index.asp that Boston Herald business columnist Cosmo Macero set up his own "blog" http://cosmomacero.blogspot.com/. This is all way cool!

I also still swear that Mac is still beyond cool onstage, ciggie or not.
