jillian, when are you ever going to learn to open up and really tell us what
you're thinking ;)
actually, i'm right with you on most of what you said about the new album.
with the exception of sarah masen's new disc, nothing has struck me the way
otr has recently. i've heard a lot of these songs, either live, or as mp3s,
but the album still hits me now as i listen to it. powerful stuff.

and martin sheen's brother (who looks and sounds nearly identical) goes by
joe estevez. so far, he's been the least successful of the family, lower
than martin, charlie, and emilio. (at least) one of joe's movies was riffed
on by MST 3K

them :)
