On the lighter side of things, I accidentally left my voice recognition software on while talking to a colleague. Here's what I found embedded in the manuscript I'm working on. I'm actually wondering if we should leave it in.

The Black Album
Not surprisingly, I am going to start with a musical analogy.
In 1987, following the critical and commercial success of Sign of the Times, Prince was on the verge of releasing a deeply funky but dark, misogynistic, and violent album to be entitled The Funk Bible. Then, a week before release, he pulled the album. Due to the fact that the handful of promo copies that went out were in an unmarked black sleeve, the record became known as The Black Album and was widely bootlegged. A few months later, he followed up with a poppy fruit loop of a record called Lovesexy which featured him naked on the cover in a picture that had to have been taken at a glamour shot at the local mall.
