...because the labels are in competition with one another. There was only one year [1995] that they all listened to me, and that turned out to be a great year for everybody. Geffen, Loud, Def Jam and Elektra got together and bought this thing called the Wu Family Tree, which is a bin they put in record stores. It had the GZA record, the Wu-Tang record, the Method Man record and so forth. Everybody in the bin's sales doubled the month it was introduced...
Similarly, Podmore even manages to breathe some new life into the old complaint of postmodern isolation.

Michigan ranks among the top five states for deer hunting licenses, and these guys (and gals) see anti-gun Gore as a threat to their Second Amendment rights. They are voting for Bush. OK, that's not surprising. But look at these numbers: In the state of Michigan, as of an October 25 statewide poll, those who own a gun or rifle and are members of the NRA identify...
