If you are looking for the David Bowie/Pat Metheny picture sleeve, you won't find it here anymore, and here is why:
Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to "draft" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits.

Note: I did not know that posting a picture sleeve that has been out of print for years was illegal. Why they jumped on this one is anyone's guess, but I have to abide by the rules, so it has been permanently removed.
Thanks to the Blogger Team for alerting me to this situation.
The Dream Police are everywhere. You neglected to name the song. Was it "This is not America?"

Yes, that is the one. The reason I didn't name it was that I never posted the song, just the picture sleeve. Although I did what they told me to do, it is kind of silly. What copyright do you infringe upon if you post a picture sleeve that is more than 25 years old? I don't get it.
