I would have heard that and gone, "There's this big glowing dedication to this guy's wife on the cover, but listen to the center of it, there's something going on here...
...Sept. 24 launch of MySpace Music has made it easier to find and listen to free, major-label music on the Web. But it's not the only game in town.

We’re warned not to talk on cell phones or listen to iPods as we make our way home, and to remain in well-lit areas as often as possible. If we notice any suspicious individuals, we should call for help immediately. Most of all, HUPD instructs each of us to “trust your instincts...
