Well I am really really looking forward to that. I am a chicagoan and I
would say there are two changings of the guard that I have long ached for
1.) McCaskey get's relieved of his role as GM of the Bears and 2.) that
anyone else but Mitchell Froom produce RT. I am really psyched about both
of these things happening!! I cannot wait for that record.
Oh actually a third thing might be whomever is responsible for that crappy
synth/keyboard padding on recent Springsteen cuts be relieved of their
producing input. Even if it is Springsteen himself. I swear that is the
cheesiest sound in the world.
anyway,

ps -- I am slowly reversing my opinion of Summerteeth, and What I Believe
to where I am loving them instead of liking them. For that matter the Joe
Henry is even having its moments. I am glad I am not a record reviewer!!
I would have too many regrets . . . or maybe I am just in a good mood
'cause I am leaving for Austin in 10 hours. <g>
