„blues to zawsze blues jest, nigdy nie zawiedzie…"

    Not even Keith Richards could play an open G tuning like Bukka White…

te i inne historyjki w squeezemylemon. polecam ja – ale przede wszystkim: pani Dorota.
no to w rewanżu: Roger McGuinn oraz The Byrds (faq) – a tam też blog… i sporo muzyki.
dodajmy, że pan Roger jest od dawna zwolennikiem innego podejścia do tzw. praw autorskich.

    CC: It’s like the radio.
    RM: That’s my theory. I said that to the Senate — and you know, I really got scowled at by Patrick Leahy — but basically, what I said was it’s just like radio. Record companies pay radio to play their songs, and people can record them off the air and they sound just as good as an mp3, so what’s the big deal?
    CC: What did Leahy say?
    RM: Like „you’re a communist.” Orrin Hatch, though, was cool; he was on mp3.com before the site closed.
    I like Cory Doctorow, he’s really cool. He was talking about the copyright industry being broken and that copyright always kicks and screams, like when sheet music came out, and then piano rolls, radio, the VHS, and in every case they’ve ended up making more money out of these things once they’ve assimilated them. The same thing will be true for mp3 and file sharing; they’ve just got to figure out how to tap it.
