Life, Death, Love and Freedom features 14 songs in the authentically stark, wind-blown style of early-20th-century country-blues, when poverty stalked the land.

The lonely, embittered protagonists of "If I Die Sudden" and "John Cockers" yearn for death to release them from the ignominy of disillusion, while the narrator of "Don't Need This Body" observes that "this getting older ain't for cowards". It's all rather depressing, and if the pessimist scolded in "Mean" isn't Mellencamp himself, it's a clear case of pot calling kettle black. Certainly, the glimmer of hope offered in "A ...

The New Jersey Supreme Court has tentatively scheduled oral arguments in the Appeal by Earle Asphalt Co., which is challenging New Jersey's pay to play laws on November. The matter involves a contribution made to the Monmouth County Republican Committee by Walter Earle III, the owner of Earle Asphalt, which later barred his firm from winning state contracts. Upon finding out that his contributuion (made at the request of former Co-Senate President John Bennett) would violate pay to play laws, Earle asked for his money back. Still, the state invalidated the award of a state Department of Transportation contract -- on which Earle Asphalt was the lowest bidder. New Jersey prohibits the award of public contracts of more than $17,500 to any business that has contributed more than $300 to certain candidates and party organizatons.
