I know I'm biased (I'm a big fan of his, particularly his album "I'm Alive" and the song "Barricades of Heaven") but I think Jackson Browne has written an interesting article about how the BP Oil Spill and bottled water could be seen to be related. It's published (somewhat surprisingly, some might say) in the Daily Mail:.
On another note, I've finally finished de-essing and remixing At The Water's Edge and it's now just waiting to be mastered.
