		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been out playing chess again. This particular game appeals particularly to me, for various reasons: it was a win, against a much stronger player; it was a calm and steady win, not decided by some fluke error in either direction, just a steady pressure which gradually increased the positional advantage up to five pawns&#8217; [...]]]></description>

It stranded because the licencees for the sheet music sales didn&#8217;t like the idea. My guess is that these &#8220;licencees&#8221; are just some branch of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time for another track, perhaps. This one is a long time coming as well. It started with the idea that this song has two faces. One is the defiant, harsh, &#8220;screw you&#8221; character that puts it in the category with Positively 4th Street and Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat. The cocky, major-key bravado that says: &#8220;you may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jokerman is, without any doubt whatsoever, one of the great classics on a rollercoaster album such as Infidels. The single-guitar version on dylanchords, however, never really did it for me: great song, great harmonies, but so thin when you&#8217;re alone with your guitar, without the exquisite drums&#8217;n'bass work by Sly and Robbie. Then, one day, [...]]]></description>
