I can believe it. The music is much better than the songs, and Paul is
trying too hard. IF he would work on his songwriting..instead of
trying to impress the public with
lengthier songs..the album might work.

We Yanks don't necessarily know that "The Mail On Sunday" is a
newspaper!

Is that the one that Joe Jackson is referring to in "Sunday Papers"?

Mother doesn't go out anymore
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside

If you wanna know about the bishop and the actress
If you wanna know how to be a star
If you wanna know about the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the Sunday papers

Other Brit Sunday papers are:

The Sunday Mirror
The Sunday Telegraph
The Observer (kind of like a Sunday Guardian really)
The Sunday Times
The Sunday Express
The People
The News of the World (Sunday version of the Sun)
The Independant on Sunday

They all have different editors and staff than the regular weekday
papers so are veiwed as separate when it comes to court cases and the
like (AFAIK).

Joe is referring to the Suday Mirror, the People and (more to the
point) The NOTW.

Yeah but the Daily Mail is the weekday version, the Sunday one is
actually called "The Mail on Sunday", so I can see that Rich may have
been confused...being all American and Homer Simpson-like as you all

Then I saw the OP and I see "the full album given away in tomorrows

I see your very. Didn't think about it like that that.

We call it (the mail - with a little m) the Post.......The Daily Post
is a Liverpool newspaper btw (as is the Echo).

Thinking about I'm probably more like Homer's drinking mate, the one
that got married to a YO type in the B-sharps.

The lyric in PBW mentions 'the Daily Mail'. Granted, it's not a huge leap of
logic to figure out that 'the Mail on Sunday' could be an example of that,
but it's also not at all a totally obvious connection to make before being
prompted.

OUTSTANDING MOVE!
Paul and his label probably figure they've made all the profit they're
going to make on the album through traditional sales, so they give away
free copies, and the worst case scenario is it gets more exposure, and
gains new fans.

Win - Win - Win.

Where can I return my copy, or, failing that, exchange for something better
like Wild Life?

No, some guy drives by at about 30mph and flings them alternately out
the windows. Sometimes they land in my yard, sometimes they don't. I
just grab the one that's closest to my front door.

Ah, the good old days. I used to deliver newspapers on my bike...and
get chased by dogs (and occasionally bitten). They didn't have leash
laws in my area back then.

Fortunately the Lowell Sun was an afternoon paper. That had its
advantages.

Yeah, that part I hated. A couple of pervs along the route who would
answer the door in their bathrobes and invite me in to "talk". Ugh!
Also, there was one old guy who would count out the $0.42 (daily only)
in *pennies*. No tip.

I was fortunate in that respect, I guess. The district manager was a
distant relative, and I didn't get cheated (unless you count the
pittance I was paid as cheating).

Just caught this olde poste re being a paperboy and had to chime in since
there's at least two fellow members of the paperboy fraternity in here. I
was one too, briefly. In my second week on the job I found a murdered
prostitute in a park across the road from the houses on my route. Just
lying there in plain view. Of course it was the break of dawn and naturally
the paperboy (me) was the first person to pass by after dark had lifted.

In addition to not liking the early hours the experience of finding a
woman's partially nude, battered corpse sort of made me think it wasn't
worth the pittance to keep at that job. A few months later I had to testify
at the trial of the thugs who had robbed and killed her, so at least they
got caught for a change. My testimony was limited to confirming the
location and condition of the body for the jury. No fun.
