...second category, a favorite of yours, I shall label "nonsensical." In a confident voice, you said, "It's one thing about insurance, that's a Washington term." George, that's not proper English. In addition, I frequently use the term "insurance" in my kitchen and we live in New York...
...Jones, helped in part by the fact that Dickens was one of the more welcoming stars on hand when the Possum made his Opry debut in 1956.

Fort Apache is a Beantown favorite, boasting the major-label successes of Radiohead, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Morphine. Ellard is the first-call engineer there and has earned engineering experience both in England and the U.S. working with acts from Queen to Coolio. Of course, the question of finances weighed greatly on our collective-band-mind. Both the Fort and Ellard gave us significant discounts because The Humming's album would be independently funded (major labels give their clients anywhere from 30,000 to multi...
