Right off the start here, let me give my opinion. I Like It! But that’s largely because I like this kind of music coupled with my irrational desire to like everything that Macca puts out there.

What kind of decisions are being made and who gets to make them? Well, today children, we are going to learn all about ‘show biz‘. You want to  be in show biz? Do you worry that stuff like Megaupload is going to be the cause of your ultimate bankruptcy? Don’t you kid yourself! The odds [...]
