Chuckled wryly while rubbing my chin raw a la Steve in the bonus footage from that one New York Dolls DVD while I read this:

On a flight to Chicago I bump into a Reprise executive who doesn't surprise me in the least by revealing: "You know the label deliberately crippled Southpaw Grammar, don't you? Because you wouldn't re-sign?"*

Now there's a job I could handle: crippling Southpaw Grammar.  Here's how I would do it:

1. release it
2. wait

Done!

(sorry, Brian!)

* also insane in the autobiography as well: all quotations are italicized.  What?  And no, this IS a lot different from my excessive witty italicization I abuse constantly.
