Seriously, HST's widow adressed this MISquote about a year and a half ago on her WoodyCreek blog, and I, like the ALWAYS attentive reader that I am just read the post in great amazement and wonder at how all these authors could have gotten it so wrong...and what it came down to was that a Rolling Stone writer had used the quote thusly: "And to paraphrase Hunter's proclamation about the tv industry, the music business is....". Wild, eh??? PS A very minor note, I do realize your not in Cleveland, just that your attitude has Cleveland written ALL over it, and that this is a GOOD thing!!! Hope you are still tingling from the Springsteen workout; FANTASTIC news from the Boss that he and the E-St. band have many more miles to run; and that you are gettin' ready for a ROCKIN' LITTLE CHRISTMAS with the ones you love!!! Keep a smile....on the dial!
