ITUNES INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM: Shockingly, Wonkette, in her frenzy to cover "Fahrenheit 9/11" and Dick Cheney using FCC-banned profanity, missed a golden opportunity--to observe what people downloading Bill Clinton's "My Life" off iTunes are also buying--sadly, they don't name precise tracks or albums, just artists, but here's the list (as of now): Ray Charles, PJ Harvey, Black Eyed Peas, Avril Lavigne, George Michael, Bebel Gilberto (a Brazilian singer), Alanis Morissette, Velvet Revolver, Beastie Boys, Al Franken, Dan Brown, Michael Moore, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Bob Woodward. Speculate as you will about what this might indicate about the demographic buying Bill's book. I will say it was apparently sold out at my local wholesale club--or at least it wasn't in the book aisle.
