I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Tracy Chapman turns 40 Born March 30, 1964, Tracy Chapman turns 40 today. Happy birthday!
Her reputation rests largely on her first album, from 1990. She's had a couple of decent hits since then, but she's been a bit of a disappointment artistically.
That first album just by itself, though, is more of a career legacy than the big majority of singers ever make. It's just that good.
"Fast Car" was the big hit, but not the top choice for most people who have the album. "For My Lover" rates as a particular high point to me, but votes for "Talkin' About a Revolution" or "Mountains o' Things" will also be counted.
Who knows, maybe she'll come up with another great one. She's done it once.
