The Grey Ghost Album
It's nice to see that musicians, who have been around since before Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura were state governors, since before Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura lit up the screen in "The Running Man", since before Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura duked it out with a space alien in "Predator", it's nice to see that these musicians, who have been around since before those halcyon days are now catching on to the possibilities made possible through recent technological advances. In this post-Grey Album world, I find it comforting that Neil Young is streaming his new anti-war album over the internet airwaves and that Brian Eno and David Byrne are making available some of 1981's "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" to be downloaded and misappropriated at will. So if you would be so kind, please put down that acappella "Black Album" you've been tinkering with for the last two years and have a looksy!
