I love Dr. Pepper

I'm feeling good about the election, but am tired enough of it not to write about it again at least till the nightmarish/deeply satisfying trainwreck awaiting us all this Thursday evening (though I have my suspicions that a McCain staffer will be ordered to push Governor Palin down a flight of stairs on the morning of the debate, effectively canceling it).

So: music news slash end of an era news slash free Dr. Pepper news. If this stands, Guns 'n' Roses' (read: Axl Rose's) album Chinese Democracy is slated to be sold exclusively at Best Buy (insert small-to-medium boos and hisses at these kinds of deals) within the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Eight. I'm more interested in this fact owing to its being climax to the music industry's longest ever cocktease (The Beach Boy's slash Brian Wilson's SMiLE notwithstanding) than I am for the actual music encoded upon the long-fabled compact disc. But still.

Also, the people at Dr. Pepper earlier in the year promised one free can of Dr. Pepper to every man, woman, and child in America (barring Slash and Buckethead) if the album was released this calender year. Better do like you said, or you'll be worse finks than Republican presidential candidate Finky McFink! I loves my Dr. Pepper.
