Later on this summer, Sheryl Crow is scheduled to release "100 miles from Memphis" on July 20th. It's supposed to be a funky R&B/Soul feeling album. something a bit different from her.

Are there any others on your list that you're looking forward to hearing?

"Undomesticated equines could not remove me"

That quote from Stargate SG-1 always makes me crack up. It was Teal'c's attempt at humor. You know what it means, of course, right?

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away.

Most of you music-minded people know the saying more as lyrics to the Rolling Stones' tune, "Wild Horses" from their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers.

All of this came to mind as I was reading the Yahoo!News article about Sheryl Crow's fight to save the wild mustangs of the West. And she's not the only one with a passion for this cause. Willie Nelson, Lily Tomlin, Bill Maher and Ed Harris are all in the fight as well.
