You sure do! Wow -- that was a fun read over my morning scone. Right you are
about the MySpace/Murdoch dilemma, although, frankly, he bought it -- he
didn't start it.  I don't think the service is inherently evil. Again, we
could extend the Evil Empire thing to the telephone and cable wires we use
for Web access, the cars we drive, the petrol we consume, etc. Even if I
just sit here, I'm consuming elements in the air that could possibly have
been in the lungs of someone even more sinister than Rupert.

But I will say in MySpace's defense (not his) that I've been exposed to more
interesting music in the last 2 years than in the last 10 through its
portal, and have met many cool artists who I would never have been exposed
to otherwise. Ignoring the concept of selecting "Friends" aside, it's been
very useful for me, at least, in sending my sounds out of the Bay Area.

Sometimes you have to dance with the devil.
