...unprecedented, classified database of plants and animals that have commercial potential as medicines and foods. Companies that see a scientifically verified, patented discovery advertised on the database would pay--through the central government, to the appropriate tribe--a fee for the classified information.

...Yikes.The mistakes and the emotional rawness make “Rock N Roll” a hard album to listen through in a single sitting. There’s a lot of self-indulgent relationship lamentation going on. But c’mon: Ryan was in a lot of pain. Who are we to judge? We’ve never dated Parker Posey. People complain that Adams doesn’t focus himself, that if he would just take a break from being prolific he could actually harness his talents to make a great record. Which is a fallacy people...
