Thanks, JJ. The Salon piece was especially enlightening and entertaining, as always, for its additional links. I particularly liked this excerpt, and, truth be told, I, too, was trying to dream up something similar using the Dixie Chicks as a prop: "Gee, the Cold War just ain't what it used to be. Once upon a time, U.S. government officials railed against the godless "evil empire" of the Soviet Union. Ordinary Americans lived in daily fear of nuclear annihilation. But today, our leaders shake their fists in rage because penny-pinching music fans can buy online Yo La Tengo's new album, "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass," for $3.18 from a shady operation that is physically located in the former Soviet Union but appears to be operated by offshore Russian money headquartered in Cyprus.)" That title in bold above sounds like it could have come from a scourned lover. Anyway, there are so many areas ripe for discussion concerning this subject and its specifics that I don't know where to put my fingers first. When that happens I've found it best to simply let fermentation run its course. FAC
