Yeah, well, I was with Scott Dolan on that one!

Dumb question: How can you tell if it's a CD-R? Is the label on the cd different?

Not a huge issue with me. I had no trouble getting it out. It's just the cheapness of it that irritates me.

Yeah, well, I like the music but hate the packaging. It's cheap, cheap, cheap.

Listening to it now. Music is fine, and I have no objection to the design of the cover, but the *packaging* is unbelievably cheap--skinny cardboard that was warped by the plastic wrap. Luckily, the disc itself was ok, but, really, they couldn't have sprung for a simple jewel box or even a slightly nicer digipac?

The Handy album was Columbia, but Sony owns both labels. As I remember, the new Mosaic set was going to include all of the RCA and Columbia studio stuff.

A Woman Under the Influence on Amazon Prime. Unbelievable performance by Gena Rowlands.

If you refer to the linguistic aspect of it - I think the reason is a different one. On average, they tend to take French (and knowledge of same
) as much for granted as US Americans and British tend to take universal knowledge of English for granted everywhere else around the globe. And they are not ashamed of being able to speak only their very own mother language and no other one (like - again - many, many U.S. and British people). And this is reflected in many ways and walks of everyday life. So just put it down to an ongoing "battle" between the English (only) and French (only) speaking worlds as to which is (and is supposed to be) the real lingua franca.
Hi Steve! The sites I was referencing are the "official" government ones. I imagine private/commercial ones are fine. My daughter once had to tangle with government sites trying to get a visa renewed. Downright Orwellian--and she's fluent in French! Like I said, I love the country and the language and the people--have lived there a few times--but French bureaucracy definitely has its own...er...character!!
