		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;ve got it, you&#8217;ve got it. And Primus definitely has it. They&#8217;ve been around since the mid 1980s and remain consistently solid musically and as heavily experimental and progressive as ever.  I typically enjoy three solid meals a day of all-things-music (with extra helpings of rock) and consider myself reasonably well-versed but I wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Not just for the concern over the health of Mr. Jobs, but rather for the inspiration that his company has given me for so many years.
