  Dastardly villains? What about MTV, only slightly more despicable than Clear Channel... in that they retooled music from socially conscious talent into a 99 percent image/appearance-driven facebook, then piloted youth culture into a comic descent of juvenile sex romps and booty shaking...

  Dear John:

  [you may not want to read all of this aloud!)

  Glad you added Louis (Lou) Pearlman, head of Trans Con - who ruined a lot of people; fortunately our firm (which has provided intellectual property services for the Backstreet Boys and Lou's other bands throughout the world) was less badly dented then others.

  Hi, John! I've met you at some Producers' Circle events - I work with Ivan Zimmerman, and I'm the trademark attorney who's been working to protect the SOUNDCHECK trademark (along with my litigation colleague, Cathy Shore).

  All the best,

  Nancy Dwyer Chapman

  Here’s a blaring (unwarranted) addition: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The charge that he was taking advantage of female devotees—-which resulted in the Beatles leaving the ashram—-turned out to be a lie feed by a jealous Beatles hanger-on. George Harrison years later apologized to Maharishi. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi#The_Beatles

  Get your facts straight, Blender.

  It's funny hearing Maharishi mentioned, I grew up in Fairfield, Iowa and attended his school there in the 80s and 90s...today Moby, Donovan, and David Lynch are visiting and playing at Fairfield's prom. Case in point?

  hey, not that I mind sex romps and booty shaking, I just need more "Art"? - more "Soul"? if you will - and definitely need talent over posers.

  I remember protesting against the PMRC back in the 80's, but now, as the mother of an 11 year old daughter with an Ipod, i am THRILLED to know that the 'explicit' songs can be bypassed for the 'clean' ones....THANKS, TIPPER, YOU ROCK!

  Where's Sid Vicious? Heroin addict, murderer, overall disagreeable punk (in the old sense, not the trendy music sense)...
