Kate, so I guess most of the new cars now do NOT have cd players? Unbelievable! But, I guess they have wifi or ipod hook ups? See, I'm old too! :lol:Quote:

The nearest Target is 25 miles away from me, but I won't be able to buy a cd of the album until next weekend. I hope that they'll still have a copy then!
Yep... New cars no CD Players.... But we got it downloaded to my phone when I got to work.... If anyone wants my CD... PM me address and I will send to you!
BTW.... Had to have my 30 yr old secretary help to get it on my phone!
Walmart sells it and I also heard Barnes and Noble too. We have two Targets. I called on Target and they took too long to answer and the other one only had two copies. I told them to hold one. If I haven't heard the album already, I would be going crazy ready to leave work to get the CD.
I looked on the Best Buy website and they are selling it too. I looked up my stores and it says they have it.
Fair enough, I take your pointQuote:

Are you talking about the Target version which includes the two exclusive tracks shun?Quote:

I think Brooke was asking if anybody else was selling the cd. I might had misunderstood her. I don't know if she was talking about the two extra songs.
Well, this is weird. Spotify has a 12 song version of Cass County available. (I'll have to check again to see what songs are missing). That's the first I've seen or heard of a 12 song version! Luckily, they have the normal 16 song version listed as the "deluxe" version.
ETA: songs missing from the Spotify 12 song version:
Too Much Pride
She Sang Hymns Out of Tune
The Brand New Tennessee Waltz
Too Far Gone
Just received my Super Deluxe Vinyl edition via UPS.
Guess whose black Sharpie signature is on the front?!? Needless to say, I was a wee bit shocked when I opened the box!!!

NOLA, that is beautiful! (And so big!)
Thanks for putting this up. I saw it on Channel 10 news last night. I had been wondering where & when the interviews were done. This is with Angela Bishop; I have a photo of her with Glenn. She spends too much time on that ancient rumour of a supergroup with Sting & Billy Joel.Quote:

I like the bonus tracks especially Here Comes Those Tears Again.
Also did anybody notice that Don's son Will plays drums on No, Thank You.
Walmart had the deluxe CD sold out(which is good I guess) online. The website didn't say if they had it on my Walmart. I called Target this morning to see if they had it. We have two here in Jackson. One Target had me on hold for 10 minutes. The other one had only 2 copies. The salesperson asked me if I wanted him to hold it. I said yes. I started looking for Don's album and I didn't see it. So somebody bought the other copy while I had the copy the salesperson hold for me.
I thought that the 16 song version was the standard version. My bad.
It's freaking confusing with all these versions!
I've been listening to my Target version and I love it... especially the track with Stevie (I know that astonishes everyone, lol). I will put more thoughts about it in the review thread once I have a chance to listen some more.
Did anybody notice that Don's son Will plays drums on No, Thank You? That was a nice surprise. Don is kinda getting his children involved. If its just doing his hair and makeup on tour (Annabel) or playing on the album(Will playing drums on No Thank You).

I do not drink, neither does my mother nor my best friend. Not that I have anything against drinking in moderation but gee whizz...are all Aussies lazy surfer dudes? Er, no!!!
...sorry for the rant but my Cass County package is in transit somewhere mid Atlantic and I'm very frustrated - I just want to get my hands on it!!! :smile:
DD - Hope you get your Cass County package very soon - I know the wait must be frustrating! And I gotta agree with you about stereotyping thing.
I agree with you there DD - so sick of the stereotyping, don't think it will ever really end......Quote:

To give credit where credit is due, "Wonderful Union" got me my pre-order bundle on the release day, as promised. If it keeps up the good work, eventually it will purge away the stench of its previous incarnation groundctrl's ineptitude (though I'll never get my 2013 Fleetwood Mac tourbook).
And I agree about how stereotyping can be maddening! Don should know that, given how Texans are given such a hard time by ill-informed people who think we are all hicks. Yes, a lot of us own cowboy hats, cowboy boots, pick-up trucks, and guns, but that doesn't mean we're all ignorant hillbillies!
Brought this up a few times, but nobody notice. Did anybody notice in the liner notes that Will is playing drums on No, Thank You?
I'm intrigued- tell me more!Quote:

"I have three teenagers at home — there's one of them," he said, gesturing toward his daughter, Annabel, who is along with her father on the road to tend to his hair and makeup. "Being their father is extremely important to me. I've already been gone more than I'd like to be gone. So when I'm home, I try to stay engaged. And that took priority. That took a lot of time, and that was time well spent. I wanted to do that.
I don't have a physical copy of the album yet, so I haven't seen the liner notes. That is cool that Will plays drums. Like father, like son!Quote:

Yep shun - I did notice Will played drums on the album. Don sheltered his kids from the public eye when they were younger, but now that they are getting older, I guess he's letting them make some choices about how much they want to be in the limelight. I've seen recent pictures of Annabel and she is a beautiful girl (must have good genes :wink: :grin:), but haven't seen any pictures of Will or Sophie in many years.
True, Funk 50. Some children of famous stars sometimes go into the business. This is different. Like IABAD said. Don rarely says anything about his children and I thought of Don of trying to keep them out of business and not follow in his footsteps since their are some liars and bad people in the entertainment business. I think I remembered an interview from last week when he said he didn't want Will (he didn't say Annabel or Sophie) to get into a profession that has something to do with copyright. I need to find that interview.Quote:

I was surprised to see his 17 year old playing on his father's album(depending on when Don started recording No, Thank You. He could had been 15 or 16) or Annabel going on tour with her dad to do his hair and makeup. I'm glad he did do that. I really do want to know how much of the drum playing is Will and how much of it is of the other guy, but it sounds good.
He said that about not wanting his son to go into areas concerning copyright during the Billy Joel interview. I did read somewhere recently where Don did say Will was a better drummer than he was.
I was a bit surprised that his daughter is possibly taking time away from college to do his hair/make-up. Perhaps she is the one responsible for plaid flannel not being so prominent thus far. He has however gotten a bit too much milage on the black & white dot shirt. I am not complaining but I saw it at least 3 times this past week while he was in NYC.
Just came across this article. I don't think I read it anywhere here yet. If it was already posted, SORRY!
http://www.express.co.uk/entertainme...st-much-longer
Well, Annabel is now an adult(I believe she's close to my age), so Don can't protect her from the media/limelight as much as he to be able to.
Thanks for posting that article, JMS. It was a great read. Sad to hear Don talking about not having his voice much longer. I wonder if he might ever publish his poetry? Ever since reading the 1979 Rolling Stone article on the band, I'd been wondering whether Don's mother was still living. Now I know, and I understand the leaving the things as the were thing.
As for not wanting to share every detail in this current generation being a southern thing, I agree. I have family who are at least a decade younger who think that same way Don does.
While my youngest son has all the social media apps he seldom posts. My oldest son, sigh, I can not tell you the amount of times I have had to call him to remove pictures. It's fine with having a few pictures of you & your friends celebrating, you can not appear professional with multiple pictures posing with HUGE drinks. I seldom post on FB. I do tweet but that is usually complaining about the Dodgers, Duke, Formula 1 racing & my now crushed fantasy football team.Quote:

You are correct, he can only protect his kids for so long. I can honestly say I have never seen any pictures of his kids.
Me either, jms. Other than the Taking You Home video, I've never seen his children. I know some have seen them at shows.
I only have Facebook. I never got the hang of twitter(don't have any friends who would follow me). I hate the idea of "selfies". (I've taken about 4 of those total in the past 3 years). I rarely, if ever, post photos of myself because I honestly hate having my photo taken. The ones from the family reunion were the first photos of me since December 2014 (GED graduation, I had no choice).Quote:

Because of this, I can understand why Don doesn't change anything, especially since, from what I gathered, he was very close to his mom..
I've only seen Don's kids in the promotional video for Inside Job that's available on DHO.
When I was watching and listening to the interviews Don did last week. He kept bringing up this one artist, Stephen Foster. I was like who the heck is Stephen Foster. I was surprised to know I knew a lot of his songs, but didn't know he was wrote or sing them. Camptown Races, Oh Susanna, Old Folk Home(aks Swanee River), Beautiful Dreamer etc.
Here's an interview that Don did on Friday at 106.7 litefm. This is the second radio station where they put up a video of their guest from that day. I don't think my local radio stations do that here.

My mom took 5 years to throw out my dad's clothes. She threw them out when she decided she wanted the extra closet space. Going through so many memories. It was harder with my Mom because I spent so much time with her. My sister & I spent a long weekend doing it. We still laugh at the amount of cool whip/butter containers. She bought 3 storage cabinets to store her "collection".
Here's another article.
