Have to say I've been reading this and this is a really creative journal that you're putting together here. I always knew that shopping malls were the centre of all American life and they are forever embedded in my mind as being so. I'll never forget the shopping mall in "Dawn of the Dead" either
. I was surprised to read that they close down though, I thought they were built to last!
Didn't expect to see an entry by Madness, I would've thought them too British to make it in the US. Liked the entry on the Firm though, I would disagree about Paul Rodgers not being a major league frontman as I think his vocal chords to be amongst the best ever, or were you just talking about his actual physical presence on stage?
