Stanford professor Larry Lessig gives a talk on copyright at TED using this video. The twenty minute video is very worthwhile.

I’m very disturbed by that Italian Spiderman. Its so much better than Dschinghis Khan’s Moskau video for the sheer weirdness. My favorite parts are when they zoom in on his fake moustache. I may have nightmares tonight.

Then there’s SuperBollywoodMan with Spiderwoman

PS, scroll up a tad…

I’ve been on a Beatles kick lately, CT. Some of the good folk at C & L think me a heretic for this, perhaps even an unredeemable sinner.

The Great Master Franco Luambo Makiadi and his All Powerful OK Jazz, the most dominant dance orchestra on the African Continent between the 1960s-early 90s when Franco passed away. He wrote thousands of songs, has untold (in the hundreds) recordings. The musicians who passed through his bands make up a who’s who of great Congolese musical artists. The videos don’t show off Franco’s guitar mastery which earned him the title of Great Master and epithet, the Sorceror, but does show off his raft of singers of that era.

These from the mid 70s: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xG2.....re=related
The thread below discusses the band members.

“But it is the enormous carbon footprint of Southern Company – among the largest financiers of Republican Party politicians – which has raised eyebrows. Southern’s employees handed George Bush $217,047 to help him get elected twice, and they and the company have contributed an extraordinary $6.2m to Republican campaigns since 1990 according to the Centre for Responsive Politics.

A single Southern Company plant in Juliette, Georgia already emits more carbon dioxide annually that Brazil’s entire power sector. The company is in the top two of America’s dirtiest utility polluters and sixth worst in the world.

Apart from vague promises by the Democratic presidential hopefuls, there is no pressure on this or any other power company to clean up their act and cut back on CO2 emissions.

Politicians from both parties fear the influence of Southern, which spends huge sums both on lobbying and on political campaigns and is among the biggest power players in Washington. It has seen off numerous attempts to impose controls on the amounts of pollution it pumps out.”
