It's hard to explain that statement unless you know I live less than 14 miles from Edison Field. One of my neighbors won the World Series last night. Everyone around here who keeps our who's who list of neighbors private were all waiting for them to come home last night. For the first time we all went outside and applauded him and his family when they finally came home. He was in total shock.
It was a good Series. The Giant's were a complete class act, and the Angeles played their brains out. Nice to see the good guys do finish first.
A source called me today to to tell me that the following was a half-page ad in the middle of the New York Times Business Section.
A BIG FAT THANKS TO RECORD EXECS Thank you for fighting the good fight against Internet MP3 file-swapping. Because of you, millions of kids will stop wasting time listening to new music and seeking out new bands. No more spreading the word to complete strangers about your artists. No more harmful exposure to thousands of bands via Internet radio, either. With any luck, they wont talk about music at all. You probably knew you'd make millions embracing the technology. After all, the kids swapping were like ten times more likely to buy CD's, making your cause all the more admirable. It must have cost a bundle in future revenue, but don't worry - computers are just a fad anyway, and the Internet is just plain stupid. --Rolling Stone
Sometimes the source of the message is as powerful as the words. This one is a home run.
