Singing for our Lives

iTunes is not letting me purchase Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert's Lifeline. I still have it on vinyl somewhere, yes, but I have no turntable. I haven't heard this album in years. And there it is! Right there in iTunes! After years of waiting for it to come out on CD and it has bonus tracks. But when I try to purchase it it says that it is "being modified." MODIFIED???!!! I don't want it modified! I want it just as it is RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE. Do you hear me, Steve Jobs? THIS MINUTE.

More or less this whole album makes me sob buckets, some of joy, most of terror. It's not FAIR.

Edit: I downloaded it song by song instead, at an extra cost of about four dollars. "Being modified" my left foot. Maybe some day they'll start remembering to credit songwriters.
