There have been many great performers in Music Land, for example Bono, Freddie Mercury, and Madonna, just to name a few. There are also many folks who go out of their way to exude cool via ironic t-shirts purchased at Urban Outfitters and meticulously unkempt hair. It’s one thing to dance with a pretty girl in the audience, but how many rock stars put a guitar in her hands and then proceed to wrap their…
While there are many blogs out there that are little more than self-indulgement ramblings or highfalutin attempts at taste-making, according to a post I just read on Boing Boing, we can actually use this populist technology to engender social change, or something like that. So if you were as bewildered and disappointed as we were by the results of the Post’s Best Bets poll last year, we ask that you rally behind a noble cause…
