Anybody here remember the PMRC hearings. All the politicians were expecting Zappa to be a stoned out freak. Instead, they had someone who knew more about the Constitution than they did. You could tell that they were sorry they invited him.

looks like crossfire was just as pointless and partisan in the eighties as it was before it was cancelled.

You're right. The thread on the CDN music industry from Friday being the other.

I'm formulating thoughts on that, by the way.

Yeah. And rather than afford it a thoughtful response, I'm just going to say that Matthew Good is whiney and sucky. He's precisely the type of person who Canadian audiences, funding agencies, and politicians should not support.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

I stopped reading that post at the point where it said "stop reading if you hate Matthew Good."

I though it was hilarious that Zappa and Robert Novak appeared to be the only two sane people.
