I never said that I was going to boycott the Cocteau Twins album, I
just said that I was going to buy it used. I still love the music,
I just won't be reading any more interviews with them. I can disagree
with an artist's politics, opinions, whatever, without letting it
interfere with my enjoyment of the music. But what's wrong with my
showing my disapproval in any way I see fit? Artists owe me nothing,
but then, I don't owe _them_ anything either.

I don't know all the stretches of highway in all 3 states, but I thought
that there were places where 1 and 101 join here and there. That's what
I meant. I have a dream one day of driving from San Diego to Canada on
that highway. The only stretch I've actually been on is from SFO to
Big Sur, and I was stopping every couple of miles to get out and take
photos. Beautiful, just magnificently beautiful!
