Blawg Review has a nose for News!

Posted on July 06, 2009
Cathy Gellis hosts Blawg Review #219 at her Statements of Interest blog. Gellis serves up the best of the past week's legal blogging with a healthy dose of rock, pop, and blue-eyed soul, courtesy of her favorite band, Huey Lewis and the News. If this edition of the carnival of legal blogging doesn't score her a bouquet of roses from Huey Lewis, the man has no soul.

This Guy Gets It

Posted on June 30, 2009
Ed--Please ask the host to "unlink" WAC? from today's BR. And further please do not use or link to any of WAC?'s content in any future BRs. I would appreciate that. Thanks. DanNow, this email request is purportedly "confidential" (not to be confused with anonymous) but it's rather difficult, really impossible, to accommodate the writer of the email unless everyone who hosts Blawg Review is given notice of his peculiar request, and asking us to ask the host to "unlink" WAC? is probably some sort of implied waiver, anyway...

Thinking About Chicago

When I first saw Chicago, live, they were Chicago Transit Authority.Their first record (released in April 1969), the eponymous The Chicago Transit Authority, was an audacious debut: a sprawling double album, virtually unheard of for a rookie band (only "Freak Out!" by The Mothers of Invention and "Loosen Up Naturally" by Sons of Champlin, featuring Bill Champlin, who would later become a member of Chicago, preceded it) that included jazzy instrumentals, extended jams featuring Latin percussion, and experimental, feedback-laden guitar abstraction...
