Might as well put a sign on the back of every American traveling abroad:
"Kidnap me. Make millions!"
It's interesting that the CNN poll showed that 89% of those responding thought this new policy was a mistake.
Terry Anderson, former hostage in Lebanon, was on TV the other night saying that he opposed paying ransoms for kidnappings. He agreed that it just made kidnapping all the more attractive for terrorists.
This is all a little late for Danny Pearl's widow and family, isn't it? Granted, the kidnappers wanted more than a monetary ransom, but I was depressed today to read the confirmation of his murder.
Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby
