My First Question to the RIAA ...
When I debate its president Thursday night at Cornell University:
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SUE THE PRESIDENT?
According to this profoundly silly article by New York Times "reporter" Elisabeth Bumiller,White House Letter: 'Boomer rock' keeps Bush's heart in tune:
The president also has an eclectic mix of songs downloaded into his iPod from Mark McKinnon, a biking buddy and his chief media strategist in the 2004 campaign. Among them are "Circle Back" by John Hiatt, "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care" by Joni Mitchell and "My Sharona," the 1970s song by The Knack that Joe Levy, a deputy managing editor in charge of music coverage at Rolling Stone, cheerfully branded "suggestive if not outright filthy" in an interview last week.
That's right. The President of the whole United States is stealing music!
Thanks to Cory at BoingBoing and Jason at Copyfight.
Reminder: The entire debate will be Webcast here.
