The local shop on the corner (and Chinese Democracy)

[The Illusionist]

That's a cool story.  Let me ask some of you this...

Will it be illegal or just unlikely that a "mom and pop" local music shop won't be having Chinese Democracy in their store in America?  There's this local shop down the street that literally has everything...bootlegs, rare live sessions, vinyls, etc.  It's hard to imagine they won't be able to get their hands on this...that's the only reason I ask...

I also ask because I'm not very "exclusive rights" savvy either as it's somewhat new to me...

The BestBuy exclusive deal is only for the US.

If a mom+pop store are selling Chinese Democracy next week and onwards (in the US), then  that would be illegal - and deemed illegal resale (among other things)

Yeah, it's been a trip coming back home. A wise man once said.. you can never come back home. I don't agree. Only, take it for what it is. Hardly anything will have changed.

Our local coffee shop is run by the old charlatan and town 'bad boy'. What a shock! He never went beyond the city limits it seems. Him and his wife run this great little joint with organic vanilla, coffee lattes and plentiful brunch. It was like, "Oh, hi.. what.. this is your place?"

I was reminded of that old Mellencamp gem Cherry Bomb:

One night me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say
Remember when

I remember exactly to the day of picking up Appetite. Holding it up. Going home (having only heard Paradise City) and putting it on.. and WTTJ starts. I think time stopped.

Could be nice to go back down and pick up Democracy, come home, kiss my son and wife, put it on.. and here we go again.. 

 

Shit, I cant stand John Mellencamp...But I just baked some waffles and put a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on it and it was magnificent.  Also, the Jets are in first place and a new GNR record in 8 days!!! Life is delicious!!!
