"Guess I'm doing fine". Beck roughs up his voice and drops a record of dusty heartache ballads that would make Hank Williams weep. [Salon.com]

I've heard it and really like it. Along with the guilty pleasure of Joan Osborne's "How Sweet It Is", my plate runneth over. I've got plenty more new stuff, but I'll have to  get back to you.

Readers in the Bay Area are invited to Cody's Books in Berkeley, where on Thursday evening (Oct. 3) a panel of Salon editors and contributors -- including David Talbot, Joan Walsh, Jennifer Sweeney and Chris Colin -- will talk about "Afterwords," our anthology of coverage of 9/11 and its aftermath. More info here. It's free. [Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment]

My dad just sent me this joke.  It cracked me up, so I thought I'd pass it along.
--------------------------------------
 
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
 
2. The New York Times is read by people who think they run the country.
 
3. The Washington Post is read by people who think they should run the 
country.
 
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand the Washington Post. They do, however, like their smog statistics shown in pie charts.
 
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could spare the time, and if they didn't have to leave L.A. to do it.
 
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and they did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
 
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country, and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
 
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country either,as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
 
9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country, or that anyone is running it; but whoever it is, they oppose all they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs, or someone who happens to be an illegal alien from ANY country, planet or galaxy or even a smooth-talking purjurious slimeball as long as they are a Democrat.
 
10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores.
 
11. The National Enquirer is read by people as they wait in line at the grocery store. Aside from MTV, Opra & Jerry Springer, it is usually their  only source for "current events."
