Dylan rode a Triumph, like a true American hero.

Che Guevara rode a Norton like a real ‘rebel’.

And you want a Honda? Lame, Jon.

You and I probably see Nashville in different lights due to our occupations and interests. I see posers* and suits around every corner. You see urban development and rejuvenation.

They do have Calypso Cafe, The Ryman and professional sports, I’ll give them that… but what do they have that we don’t? Urban Parks? Coffee Shops? Original Pancake House? Downtown Loft Living?

*I’m only aware of three posers in Birmingham. They are:
1. Me
2. That one guy with the jacket.
3. That one guy with the headband.

In addition to Amazon, I’d recommend checking out how eMusic is set up. It’s subscription-based, but there is some amazing DRM-free music on there–from Minutemen to Patty Griffin and everything in between (lots of cool live and out-of-print tracks to be tracked down, too).

I have other beef with Apple too - like how their software upgrader is always trying to download Safari (an action that looks a lot like malware). And how some of their “upgrades” to iTunes contain nothing more than new ways for them to try to sell me things. And how if I ignore said upgrade, my iTunes library tends to corrupt.
