SMOKE, LIES AND THE NANNY STATE

Bill was a fan of Joe Jackson's music. As a matter of fact, when we discussed the CDs he might want me to send in what was the last shipment of music I sent him, he said that he lost track of Jackson's career and he wanted to catch up. So, I sent him all of Jackson's releases from the previous 10-12 years.


That's why I think he would have found the e-booklet - Smoke, Lies And The Nanny State - available on joejackson.com to be very interesting. The booklet is actually is a pro-smoking essay. You can get your copy by clicking here.


You can also catch up on Joe Jackson's career by getting a Joe Jackson Press Kit or by watching some videos on the Joe Jackson Channel on YouTube.


Joe Jackson's latest release is Rain. It's classic Joe - a cross between Night And Day and Look Sharp. You can get it here.

Finally, here are few free MP3s, courtesy of joejackson.com:
