Something tangible

It was 1991 and George Bush Sr. was still in office when Guns N' Roses last released an album of new music, so it seems fitting that 17 years later the Bush era is being brought to a close with the release of Chinese Democracy. I never would have guessed when I was in fifth grade that I would be teaching in Japan the next time I touched a fresh GN'R record, but like the marinating time between consecutive viewings of The Goonies or trips to Disney World, I've found the wait has done little to diminish my excitement.

Full review to come later this week.
