...always nice to see music industry folk completely ignore music happening right in front of them. Okay, so that's being a little harsh, maybe even a little dishonest. There were plenty of record label reps checking out the talent at NEMO's (New England Music Showcase's - what does the "O" stand for? I don't know) main event Friday night. There were also plenty of music execs snacking, drinking and chatting away on cell phones above the din of the club. This was to be expected: it's standard for the biz.

In part, of course, we jest; the figures, though, are serious. According to the DOJ's calculations, the U.S. adult prison population reached record levels in 1999; jails housed 1.86 million people last year, or one of every 147 citizens. That makes America, which in 1985 had less than 800,000 people behind bars, the most jail-happy nation in the world, edging out Russia, the former front-runner...
