This was passed on to me. I haven't tried it, but it has interesting promise. The internet has introduced us all to torrents of ideas and you can really find support for most any perspective, no matter how hare-brained. Even the best of us occasionally buy into a notion that — it may turn out — isn't so credible, or at least is disputed legitimately. This Firefox extension tries to alert you to alternate claims that aren't in keeping with what you're reading.
Seems like an impossibly complicated task, but the idea has promise for at least occasionally saving face — like that time you heard that gang members were drivers who flashed headlights as part of an initiation rite. Right?

ReplyDeleteLike asserting that Karen Carpenter would have benfitted from being produced by Rick Rubin?
I stand completely by that assertion!!
ReplyDeleteGeez - then I suppose you would advocate the Ricko stark-o-rama treatment for the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations" or Abba's catalog, or Phil Spector's girl group productions. No respect for the genuis of Richard Carpenter I tell ya.
