"S he is a ghost to me now." -- Sean Penn on his ex-wife, Robin Wright Penn, to Vanity Fair My first impression when I read the above quote was disbelief. "No he didn't," I thought to myself. "He did not just call the mother of his children a 'ghost.'" Then I carefully reconsidered his words, and I began to realize where he was coming from.

Cory Brown hasn't bought new jeans in three years. I am not sure if he is making a joke when he states this at the Bandwidth Music and Technology Conference, though he says it with a laugh. I don't think the founder of local label Absolutely Kosher is trying explicitly to give us intimate details of his personal life.
