Never Forget.
[I wrote this post in third person. For some reason, given the subject mater, it seemed more appropriate. Except for this part: My prayers go out to those whose loved ones were killed or injured on 9/11. My gratitude goes out to those who tried to save them. And to all, including those in the military, who are trying to make the world a better… [read full post]

You know it’s a recession when YOU lose your job.
A non-blogging friend of mine asked me to publish this letter that he wrote to his Representative in Congress. His letter (edited for privacy) speaks for itself:

Want to know why the music business is broken? Look at how Rolling Stone Magazine mismanages its most prized asset: five-star reviews.
Over the last two months, Rolling Stone Magazine published five-star reviews for three albums. Rolling Stone rating an album five stars is as rare as a four-leaf clover or a Bush apology. How did Rolling Stone announce this rare event? With a red carpet… [read full post]

But because the article is so painfully misguided, I felt the need to respond. Unfortunately (and ironically), the article is not online, so I… [read full post]
