From Wikipedia: "Rabbit rabbit rabbit" is a superstition found in Britain and North America wherein a person says or repeats the words "rabbit", "rabbits" and/or "white rabbits" aloud upon waking on the first day of a month, to ensure good luck for the rest of it.

As a radio copywriter, two or three times a year a client would come in with a creative idea, i.e., have his 4-year old read the spot. No amount of persuasion could deter them.

I think the historical context of Sandinista! makes it more delicious -- as an immediate follow-up to one of the most successful "alternative" albums of all time.

How about a steel bridge version? The Golden Gate is looking for new repertoire:
“Engineers designed new sides for the sidewalk to help with wind resistance but didn’t take into account the EXTREME sound it creates when wind passes through it. The Golden Gate sings crazy songs now it’s so trippy. It hurts the ears and unbearable it’s that loud.”

@fred: We accelerated things and got it done way before the pub date. So it is *certainly* available for ordering; whether the bookstores already have it on the shelves is a slightly different question, but your bookstore could definitely order it from the press or through their distributor. Bookstores the preordered it should have copies by now.
