Paul Simon's newest album works on an external CD player but not on either of my Macs. I assume this is a DRM issue (my experience, backed up by one Amazon review). The iBook says it can't recognize the CD and spits it out; the PowerBook says nothing and spits it out. Any ideas here, beyond bittorrent, returning the disc or initiating the class-action lawsuit? The label is Warner. There is no mention of DRM/compatibility on the disc. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.38024 Thu, 11 May 2006 15:09:49 -0800 apple cd copyprotection drm mac paulsimon surprise thejoshu http://ask.metafilter.com/33294/You%2Dcan%2Dcall%2Dme%2DBetty Any Paul Simon fans out there? What does he mean when he says "Call me Al?" I have loved the Graceland album since I was about seven years old, but have until now been blissfully ignorant about what several of the songs mean. However, today I thought, maybe, I had a flash of inspiration about Call Me Al. I was wondering if other people had ideas on what it is about, what it means, or what he was trying to say. I won't share my insight because I don't want to prejudice the answers!<br> (I recognize the possibility that there is no mystery and everyone else knows what this song is about and I am just fantastically dense. If that is the case, humor me.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.33294 Fri, 24 Feb 2006 17:50:05 -0800 CallMeAl Graceland PaulSimon songlyrics ohio
